[Lest nature of itself despair]
Lest nature of itself despair,
I triumph in the strength of grace,
Mine utter impotence declare,
Mine inability confess,
And bless this inability,
Which makes me look for all from Thee.
I triumph in the strength of grace,

Mine inability confess,
And bless this inability,
Which makes me look for all from Thee.
No evil, Lord, can I eschew,
Unless Thy mighty grace restrain,
No good without Thy Spirit do,
A feeble helpless child of man:
But absolute in power Thou art,
And greater than my sinful heart.
Unless Thy mighty grace restrain,
No good without Thy Spirit do,
A feeble helpless child of man:

And greater than my sinful heart.
