My Aim

By Cecil H. Pretyman

My God, I want my life to be A song of praise unending; That in my actions all may see Thy character extending. I want my soul to get of thee A richer comprehending.
Not me, but Christ who in me dwells, My daily walk revealing; To go about e’er doing good, Both soul and body healing; To learn of him the wondrous power Of human hearts unsealing.
My God, what has thy love not done To bring to me salvation? Now let the light which on me shone Be sent to every nation. The bearing of this light alone Be hence my occupation.
My only aim to show thy love To those in darkness dwelling, My meat to do my Father’s will, His goodness ever telling; His words to speak, his thoughts to think, His love each act impelling.
—Cecil H. Pretyman.
