LyicsKind are the words that Jesus speaks
To cheer the drooping saint;
"My grace sufficient is for you,
"Tho' nature's powers may faint.
"My grace its glories shall display,
"And make your griefs remove;
"Your weakness shall the triumphs tell
"Of boundless power and love."
What tho' my griefs are not remov'd,
Yet why should I despair?
While my kind Saviour's arms support,
I can the burden bear.
Jesus, my Saviour, and my Lord,
'Tis good to trust thy name:
Thy power, thy faithfulness and love
Will ever be the same.
Weak as I am, yet thro' thy grace
I all things can perform;
And smiling triumph in thy name,
Amid the raging storm.
