[Thus in temptation I]
All the disciples forsook Him, and fled.
—xxvi. 56.
Thus in temptation I
Shall from my Saviour fly;
Trembling, as the foe draws near,
Wavering, ready to desert,
Save me from the sin I fear,
Help mine unbelief of heart.
Shall from my Saviour fly;
Trembling, as the foe draws near,
Wavering, ready to desert,
Save me from the sin I fear,
Help mine unbelief of heart.
I cannot faithful be
But by a power from Thee:
Thee that I may not disown,
Vilely cast my shield away,
Jesus, leave me not alone,
With my soul for ever stay.
But by a power from Thee:
409
Vilely cast my shield away,
Jesus, leave me not alone,
With my soul for ever stay.
