A little more devotion.

A LITTLE more devotion, To Christian piety; A little more endurance And deep humility, Would add much to the victory We in this warfare make, And make the prize more precious Which we soon hope to take.

A little more exertion To serve the Lord entire; A little more denial, To raise the mind up higher, Would much enhance the beauty Of "life that's hid in God," And make our home more certain, When we the path have trod.
