Ah Wretched Souls Who Strive In Vain – Hymn Lyric
Ah wretched souls, who strive in vain,
Slaves to the world, and slaves to sin!
A nobler toil may I sustain,
A nobler satisfaction win.
I would resolve with all my heart,
With all my pow’rs to serve the Lord,
Nor from his precepts e’er depart,
Whose service is a rich reward.
O be his service all my joy!
Around let my example shine;
Till others love the blest employ,
And join in labours so divine.
Be this the purpose of my soul,
My solemn my determin’d choice,
To yield to his supreme control,
And in his kind commands rejoice.
O may I never faint nor tire,
Nor wandering leave his sacred ways;
Great God! accept my soul’s desire,
And give me strength to live thy praise.

I surrender myself to His supreme authority, finding immense delight in following His kind and merciful commands. There is no greater joy than submitting to His will and basking in His love and guidance.
Though the journey may be challenging at times, I will never grow weary or lose my way. I will not wander from His sacred path, for it is within His sacred ways that I find solace, strength, and direction. O Great God! I humbly ask you to accept the desires of my soul and grant me the fortitude and endurance to live a life that brings honor to Your name and everlasting praise.
In this world, there are distractions and temptations at every turn, but I am steadfast in my devotion. I know that with the help of the Almighty, I can overcome any obstacle that comes my way. He will provide me with the strength I need to remain resolute, never wavering in my commitment to His service.
So, my dear friends, let us not be disheartened by the struggles we face or the hardships that may come our way. Let us lift our spirits and find solace in knowing that we are not alone on this journey. With a heart full of determination and a mind filled with His teachings, we can conquer any challenge that besets us.
And so, I urge you all, my fellow souls who strive in vain, to join me in this noble pursuit. Let us cast aside the chains that bind us to this world and embrace the freedom that comes from serving the Lord. Together, let us strive for a life that is meaningful, fulfilling, and above all, filled with His divine presence.
