JESUS, my strength, my hope, On thee I cast my care, With humble confidence look up, And know thou hearest prayer. Give me on thee to wait, Till I can all things do, On thee, almighty to create, Almighty to renew.
2
I want a godly fear, A quick-discerning eye, That looks to thee when sin is near, And sees the tempter fly; A spirit still prepared And armed with jealous care, For ever standing on its guard, And watching unto prayer.
3
I rest upon thy word; The promise is for me; My succour and salvation, Lord, Shall surely come from thee. But let me still abide, Nor from my hope remove, Till thou my patient spirit guide Into thy perfect love.
