- 1Let me but hear my Saviour say,
- "Strength shall be equal to thy day;"
- Then I rejoice in deep distress,
- Leaning on all-sufficient grace.
- 2I 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.
- 3I 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.
