Jesus My only Strength

Jesus my only strength, Thou art all I care for; With all faith I lift up my eyes, Thou wilt accept my prayer, Let me stay here for Thee That I may do Thy will; And think O my Almighty God, Renew me with all strength.

Give me a humble heart That sacrifices itself; That threats upon that ridicules Satan's machinations, A heart that values much The pangs of pain and toil, That with patience and all boldness Bear its own cross alone.

Give me the heavenly care, A bold and a sharp face, That looks to Thee when sins draw near: That drives away satan; O give me the Spirit Which Thou hast provided, Spirit that stays steadfast for aye, That watches while praying.

I trust only thy word, Thou gave me this promise That all my help and salvation Shall come only from Thee: Just let me stand steadfast, That my hope might not shake Until Thou shall bring my spirit To everlasting rest.
