Hymnal: BW1867 #238 (1867) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Jesus! my strength, my hope,
On Thee I cast my care;
With hum confidence look up,
And know Thou hear'st my prayer:
Give me on Thee to wait
Till I can all things do;
On Thee—Almighty to create,
Almighty to renew.
2 Give me a sober mind,
A self-renouncing will,
That tramples down and casts behind
The baits of pleasing ill:
A soul inured to pain,
To hardship, grief, and loss;
Prompt to take up and to sustain,
The consecrated cross.
3 Give me 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,
Forever standing on its guard,
And watching unto prayer.
4 Give me a heart to pray,
To pray and never cease—
Never to murmur at Thy stay,
Or wish my sufferings less:
This blessing, above all,
Always to pray, I want;
Out of the deep on Thee to call,
And never, never faint.
5 Give me a true regard--
A single, steady aim,
Unmoved by threatening or reward,
To Thee and Thy great Name:
A jealous, just concern
For Thine immortal praise;
A pure desire that all may learn
And glorify Thy grace. Topics: Trust in God Languages: English
