[Thus only may I trust in man]

We have confidence in the Lord touching you, &c. —iii. 4.

Thus only may I trust in man,
(The man whose grace I most esteem,)

98

By trusting him to God, who can
Secure what I commit to Him,
Who will preserve my gracious friend,
And keep him gracious to the end.
Saviour, his heart is in Thy hands,
And humbly confident I pray,
That duteous now to Thy commands
He still may Thy commands obey;
And let us both receive above
The crown laid up for righteous love.
