LyicsMY God, my Strength, my Hope,
On Thee I cast my care;
With humble confidence look up,
And know Thou hear'st my pray'r.
Give me on Thee to wait,
Till I can all things do;
On Thee, almighty to create,
Almighty to renew.
I want a godly fear,
A quick-discerning eye,
That looks to Thee when sin is near,
And bids the tempter fly;
A spirit still prepar'd.
And arm'd with jealous care,
Forever standing on its guard,
And watching unto pray'r.
I rest upon Thy word;
The promise is for me;
My succor 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.
