[In our feeble nature clad]

Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth, &c. —xiv. 42.

In our feeble nature clad
He sinks beneath His load,
In His own great strength array'd
He stands the' almighty God!

Calmly meets His murderous foes,
Animates His drooping friends,
To His cross intrepid goes,
And thence to heaven ascends.
Left to his own feebleness,
Or arm'd with Jesus' name,
Weak by nature, strong by grace,
A man is not the same:
Nothing can he do alone:
But when enabled from above,
In his impotence is shown
The' omnipotence of love.
