Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 157 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let me but hear my Savior say,
"Strength shall be equal to thy day";
Then I rejoice in deep distress,
Leaning on all-sufficient grace.
2 I glory in infirmity,
That Christ’s own power may rest on me;
When I am weak, then am I strong,
Grace is my shield, and Christ my song.
3 I can do all things, or can bear
All suff’rings, if my Lord be there;
Sweet pleasures mingle with the pains
While His left hand my head sustains.
4 But if the Lord be once withdrawn,
And we attempt the work alone;
When new temptations spring and rise,
We find how great our weakness is.
5 So Samson, when his hair was lost,
Met the Philistines to his cost;
Shook his vain limbs with sad surprise,
Made feeble fight, and lost his eyes. Used With Tune: DWIGHT Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs Book 1, 1707
