[Thee our strength and righteousness]
Thee our strength and righteousness,
Jesus, we with joy confess:
Mighty to redeem from death,
Thou hast spread Thine arms beneath,
Kept her, till the hour was past,
Scarcely saved—yet saved at last.
Jesus, we with joy confess:
Mighty to redeem from death,
Thou hast spread Thine arms beneath,
Kept her, till the hour was past,
Scarcely saved—yet saved at last.
Mighty to redeem from pain,
Turn, and visit her again:
Till Thy breath again revives,
In the shade of death she lives,
In extreme infirmity
Dying still for want of Thee.
Turn, and visit her again:
Till Thy breath again revives,
In the shade of death she lives,
In extreme infirmity
Dying still for want of Thee.
Make her, Lord, Thy constant care,
In Thy loving bosom bear:
Moved by our continued cry,
Thy balsamic blood apply,
Nature's sinking powers restore,
Give her life for evermore.
In Thy loving bosom bear:
Moved by our continued cry,
Thy balsamic blood apply,
Nature's sinking powers restore,
Give her life for evermore.
While Thou dost her soul renew,
Quicken her frail body too,
While she hangs in even scale,
Let the prayer of faith prevail,
Present in Thy power to heal,
On her heart the answer seal.
Quicken her frail body too,
While she hangs in even scale,
Let the prayer of faith prevail,
Present in Thy power to heal,
On her heart the answer seal.
