Jesus since I with thee am oneA
Confirm my soul in theeB
And still continue to tread downC
The man of sin in meB
-
Let not the subtle foe prevailD
In this my feeble hourE
Frustrate all the hopes of hellF
Redeem from Satan's pow'rG
-
Arm me O Lord from head to footH
With righteousness divineI
My soul in Jesus firmly rootJ
And seal the Saviour mineI
-
Proportion'd to my pains belowK
O let my joys increaseL
And mercy to my spirit flowK
In healing streams of peaceL
-
In life and death be thou my GodM
And I am more than safeN
Chastis'd by thy paternal rodM
Support me with thy staffO
-
Lay on me Saviour what thou wiltP
But give me strength to bearQ
Thy gracious hand this cross hath dealtR
Which cannot be severeS
-
As gold refin'd may I come outT
In sorrow's furnace try'dT
Preserved from faithfulness and doubtT
And fully putify'dT
-
When overwhelm'd with sore distressU
Out of the pit I cryV
On Jesus suffering in my placeW
Help me to fix mine eyeV
-
When marr'd with tears and blood and sweatT
The glorious sufferer layX
And in my stead sustain'd the heatT
And burden of the dayX
-
The pangs which my weak nature knowsY
Are swallow'd up in thineI
How numberless thy pondrous woesY
How few how light are mineI
-
O might I learn of thee to bearQ
Temptation pain and lossZ
Give me a heart inur'd to prayerQ
And fitted to the crossZ
-
Make me O Lord thy patient sonA
Thy language mine shall beB
quot Father thy gracious will be doneA
I take the cup from thee quotX
-
While thus my soul is fixt on himA2
Once fasten'd to the woodX
Safe shall I pass through Jordan's streamB2
And reach the realms of GodX
-
And when my soul mounts up to keepC2
With thee the marriage feastX
I shall not die but fall asleepC2
On my Redeemer's breastX
