Text: | Let me but hear my Saviour say |
Author: | Watts |
1 Let me but hear my Saviour say,
“Strength shall be equal to thy day;”
Then I rejoice in deep distress,
Leaning on all-sufficient grace.
2 I glory in infirmity,
That Christ’s own power may rest on me;
When I am weak, then am I strong;
Grace is my shield, and Christ my song.
3 I can do all things, or can bear
All sufferings, if my Lord be there;
Sweet pleasures mingle with the pains
While his left hand my head sustains.
4 But if the Lord be once withdrawn,
And we attempt the work alone,
When new temptations spring and rise,
We find how great our weakness is.
