1.

Indeed, indeed, how good to be
From sin and shame set free,
To nevermore desire to sin,
But love God constantly.
His love so deep compels me,
And I can boldly say,
“Let come what may Upon my way,
I’ll give my life each day.”

2.

Indeed, indeed, how hard to be
Without faith’s burning fire,
With lukewarm heart to plod along
Defeated in the mire.
For Satan always triumphs
If I can’t firmly say,
“Let come what may Upon my way,
I’ll give my life each day.”

3.

Indeed, indeed, how good it is
To Jesus to belong
And not be troubled anymore
By Satan’s darts so strong.
He’s lost his pow’r completely
If I can always say,
“Let come what may Upon my way,
I’ll give my life each day.”

4.

Beloved friends, let’s all press on,
With faith and love aflame!
May each partake in Jesus’ death,
His victory to claim.
May all the saved be able
With boldness now to say,
“Let come what may Upon my way,
I’ll give my life each day.”
