Jesus My only Strength
"Put on the whole armour of God." - Eph 6:11
VERSE 1
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.
VERSE 2
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.
VERSE 3
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.
VERSE 4
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.
