Blessèd Master, I Have Promised

Blessèd Master, I have promised,
Hear my solemn vow;
Take this pledge of mine and seal it
Here and now.

Strength of mine is only weakness,
Thine is strength indeed;
Strengthen me in fullest measure
As I need.

Let no worldly cares nor pleasures
Call my heart away;
Save me, Lord, and keep me faithful
Day by day.
