And Christ shall make thee whole!" 2 Touch with thy mighty hand; Alarm me in this hour; And make me fully understand My danger and thy power. 3 Give me on thee to call, Always to watch and pray, Lest I into temptation fall, And cast my shield away. 4 For each assault prepared And ready may I be; Forever standing on my guard, And looking up to thee. 5 O do thou always warn My soul of evil near; When to the right or left I turn, Thy voice still let me hear: 6 "Come back! this is the way; Come back and walk therein;" O may I hearken and obey, And shun the paths of sin.

Yes, she may forgetful be, Yet will I remember thee. 4 Mine is an unchanging love, Higher than the hights above, Deeper than the depths beneath, Free and faithful, strong as death. 5 Thou shalt see my glory soon, When the work of grace is done; Partner of my throne shalt be: Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou me? 6 Lord, it is my chief complaint That my love's so weak and faint; Yet I love thee, and adore; O for grace to love thee more!

Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if thou abide with me. 5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes; shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies: Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!
