WHEN I AM TEMPTED
When I am tempted, I dare not stray
For many people look my way,
Loved ones to sicken and disgust
If I betray my sacred trust;
Weak ones to stumble and to fall
If I should heed temptation's call;
Young ones to follow in my wrong
If my heart's not pure and strong;
Older ones to mourn and grieve
If I the way of truth should leave;
The holy church to suffer too
If my soul's not right and true.
My charge is plain----my duty clear;
My soul to keep, my Lord to fear,
My light to shine, my savor keep
Truth to teach, souls to reap,
A hope to gain, a crown to wear
A race to run, Heaven to share.
When I am tempted, I dare not stray
Too many people look my way.
