Jesus, 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.

I Want A Sober Mind,
A Self-Renouncing Will,
That Tramples Down And Casts Behind
The Baits Of Pleasing Ill;
A Soul Inured To Pain,
To Hardship, Grief, And Loss,
Bold To Take Up, Firm To Sustain
The Consecrated Cross.

I Want A Godly Fear,
A Quick-Discerning Eye,
That Looks To Thee When Sin Is Near,
And Sees The Tempter Fly;
A Spirit Still Prepared,
And Armed With Jealous Care,
For Ever Standing On Its Guard,
And Watching Unto Prayer.

I Want A Heart To Pray,
To Pray And Never Cease,
Never To Murmur At Thy Stay,
Or Wish My Sufferings Less.
This Blessing, Above All,
Always To Pray, I Want,
Out Of The Deep On Thee To Call,
And Never, Never Faint.

I Want 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.

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.
