Jesus, my strength, my hope

1.

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

2.

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 pray’r

3.

I want a true regard

A single, steady aim

Unmoved by threat’ning 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

4.

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.
