God teach me to believe that I
    Am stationed at a post,
Although the humblest 'neath the sky,
    Where I am needed most.
And that, at last, if I do well
My humble services will tell.

God grant me faith to stand on guard,
    Uncheered, unspoke, alone,
And see behind such duty hard
    My service to the throne.
Whate'er my task, this be my creed:
I am on earth to fill a need.
