[Toss'd too long by every wind]

Quit you like men, be strong. —xvi. 13.

Toss'd too long by every wind,
And carried to and fro,
Jesus, in Thy constant mind,
The stablish'd state we know.
Mighty out of weakness made,
(If strength for us our God ordain)
Courage to our faith we add,
And babes grow up to men.
Strengthen'd by Thy Spirit's might,
We now the world oppose,
Manfully maintain the fight,
Against our hellish foes.

Trample sin beneath our feet,
Out of our hearts for ever cast,
Then the victory is complete,
And death expires the last.
