on Thee I cast my care,
with humble confidence look up,
and know Thou hearest 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 prayer.
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 succour 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. Scripture: Luke 21:36 Used With Tune: LEOMINSTER
Jesus, My Strength, My Hope
