[Weakest, when I strongest seem]

When he was strong, his heart was lifted up. —xxvi. 16.

Weakest, when I strongest seem,
Fallen alas I am through pride,
Sinless then myself I dream,
Pure, and wholly sanctified,
Fold my arms, and take my ease,
Safe in perfect holiness.

216

Wake my soul to sleep no more,
Give me back my poverty,
Till the kingdom Thou restore:
When it is restored in me,
Give me, Lord, myself to feel
Weak, and poor, and nothing still.
 

Perhaps so. J.W.
