- 1Jesus, my strength, my hope,
- On Thee I cast my care;
- With humble confidence look up,
- And know Thou hear'st my prayer.
- Give me on Thee to wait,
- Till I can all things do;
- On Thee, Almighty to create,
- Almighty to renew.
- 2Give me a true regard,
- A single, steady aim,
- Unmoved by threatening or reward,
- To Thee and Thy great Name;
- A jealous, just concern
- For Thine immortal praise;
- A pure desire that all may learn
- And glorify Thy grace.
- 3I 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.
