Wouldn't it be wonderful
If without my help at all,
The Lord would make me perfect
So that I could never fall!
                    and,

Wouldn't it be something
If lost souls could be won
While I relaxed in comfort
And had a lot of fun?
                    and,

If I didn't have to give a thing,
If service cost no price,
I could spend it all on pleasure,
Wouldn't that be nice?
                    no!

It wouldn't be so wonderful
And not so nice at all:
If service were so easy
Its pleasure soon would pall!
                    but,

True pleasure in His service
Comes when in His will we hide,
And when self and all its pleasure
Is forever crucified!
