Jesus, my strength and righteousness, My Saviour and my King, Triumphantly Thy name I bless-- Thy conqu'ring name I sing. Thou, Lord, hast magnified Thy name; Thou hast maintain'd Thy cause; And I enjoy the glorious shame-- The scandal of Thy cross. Thou gavest me to speak Thy word, In the appointed hour; I have proclaim'd my dying Lord, And felt Thy Spirit's power. O let me have Thy presence still; Set as a flint my face, To show the counsel of Thy will, Which saves a world by grace. O let me never blush to own The glorious gospel word; Which saves a world through faith alone, Faith in a dying Lord. |
