[I know the power was Thine]
I know the power was Thine,
Which did from sin restrain,
And saved so oft by grace Divine,
I ask Thy grace again:
From sin withhold me still,
For Jesu's sake alone;
And though inclined to every ill,
I shall consent to none.
Which did from sin restrain,
And saved so oft by grace Divine,
I ask Thy grace again:
From sin withhold me still,
For Jesu's sake alone;
And though inclined to every ill,
I shall consent to none.
To my own net I dare
No longer sacrifice,
Myself to publicans prefer,
Or scorn the slaves of vice:
The slave of vice I am,
If left in danger's hour;
And virtue is an empty name,
Without Thy Spirit's power.
