27.
[Conscious of our infirmity]
Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit, &c.
—iv. 1.
Conscious of our infirmity,
We wisely from the world retreat,
The hazardous temptation flee,
And shun the shock we dread to meet:
But Jesus to the desert goes,
For us to conquer all our foes.
We wisely from the world retreat,
The hazardous temptation flee,
And shun the shock we dread to meet:
But Jesus to the desert goes,
For us to conquer all our foes.
He wears our feeble flesh, within
Full of His own almighty grace,
Divinely sure the fight to win,
Himself exposes in our place,
That we on all our foes may tread
Already vanquish'd by our Head.
Full of His own almighty grace,
Divinely sure the fight to win,

That we on all our foes may tread
Already vanquish'd by our Head.
