Hymns of Consecration and Faith ‎#571

571. Who can the strength afford?

1 Who can the strength afford
The helpless soul to aid?
‘Tis He alone, th’Almighty Lord,
By whom the heav’ns were made.

2 My soul on Him relies,
In Him my spirit lives;
He hears His servant when he cries,
And timely succour gives.

3 My heart is fixed above,
In Him I rest secure;
My pilgrim feet shall ne’er remove;
His guiding care is sure.

4 His never-slumbering eye
My onward course attends;
His powerful presence, always nigh,
Form all my foes defends.

5 He saves my soul from doubt,
From terror, grief, and sin;
His love preserves my going out
And hails my entering in!
