[Thee, Jesus, full of truth and grace]

Thee, Jesus, full of truth and grace,
Our Saviour we adore;
Thee in affliction's furnace praise,
And magnify Thy power.
Thy power in human weakness shown,
Shall make us all entire;
We now Thy guardian presence own,
And walk unburnt in fire.
Thee, Son of Man, by faith we see,
And glory in our Guide;
Surrounded, and upheld by Thee,
The fiery test abide.

The fire our graces shall refine,
Till moulded from above
We bear the character Divine,
The stamp of perfect love.
