I sink in life's alarms When by myself I stand; Impris'n me in Thy mighty arms, And strong shall be my hand. 2 My heart is weak and poor Until it master find: It has no spring of action sure - It varies with the wind: It cannot freely move Till Thou hast wrought its chain; Enslave it with Thy matchless love, And deathless it shall reign. 3 My pow'r is faint and low Till I have learned to serve, It wants the needed fire to glow, It wants the breeze to nerve; It cannot drive the world Until itself be driv'n; Its flag can only be unfurled When Thou shalt breathe from heav'n. 4 My will is not my own Till Thou hast made it Thine; If it would reach a monarch's throne It must its crown resign: It only stands unbent Amid the clashing strife, When on Thy bosom it has leant, And found in Thee its life.
