Lyics

LET me but hear my Saviour say,

"Strength shall be equal to thy day,"

Then I rejoice in deep distress,

Leaning on all-sufficient grace.



I can do all things-or can bear

All suffering, if my Lord be there;

Sweet pleasures mingle with the pains.

While he my sinking head sustains.



I glory in infirmity,

That Christ's own power may rest on me;

When I am weak, then am I strong;

Grace is my shield, and Christ my song.
