THE holy unconcern That I, even I may learn, Show me, Lord, the dazzling prize, Thou thyself my teacher be; Then I shall my life despise, Only wish to live for thee.

When I my Saviour love, Nor life nor death can move Partner of thy weal or woe, For that blissful sight I sigh, Crucified to all below, Only wish for thee to die.

Thy gospel-minister, I see my business here, Witness of thy saving will, Of thy free unbounded grace, First mine office to fulfil, Then to win and close my race.

I ask not how or when, But be my Saviour then; Grant in death my sole desire, Bid me lay this body down, Joyful in thine arms expire, Share thine everlasting crown.
