Weakness still with ignorance
And poverty combined
Triumph o'er the boasted sense
And wisdom of mankind;
Grandeur, wealth, and power subdue,
For Jesus' self maintains our cause,
Jesus who the world o'erthrew
While bleeding on His cross.

While bleeding on His cross.
Men in every age are seen
By grace Divine employ'd,
Simple, rude, unletter'd men,
And only taught of God.
Sent into the world we go,
And gather souls on every side,
Nothing else resolved to know
But Jesus crucified.

Let the great and wise confess
From whence this boldness flows,
Jesus' meanest witnesses
We cannot dread our foes;
Men who have with Jesus been,
And at His mouth received the word,
Conquerors of the world and sin
We only fear the Lord.
