I sink in life's alarms When by myself I stand; Imprison me within thine 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. A-men. 3 My power 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 driven; Its flag can only be unfurled When Thou shalt breathe from heaven. 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. Amen. Used With Tune: LEOMINSTER
