“Thine is the kingdom.” Matt. 6. 13; John 17. 2

1 Ye souls that are weak, and helpless, and poor,
  Who know not to speak, much less to do more,
  Lo! here’s a foundation for comfort and peace –
  In Christ is salvation; the kingdom is his.

2 With power he rules, and wonders performs;
  Gives conduct to fools, and courage to worms
  Beset by sore evils without and within,
  By legions of devils and mountains of sin.

3 Then be not afraid; all power is given
  To Jesus, our Head, in earth and in heaven;
  Through him we shall conquer the mightiest foes;
  Our Captain is stronger than all that oppose.

4 [His power from above he’ll kindly impart,
  So free is his love, so tender his heart;
  Redeemed with his merit, we’re washed in his blood;
  Renewed by his Spirit, we’ve power with God.]

5 Thy grace we adore, Director divine;
  The kingdom, and power, and glory are thine.
  Preserve us from running on rocks or on shelves,
  >From foes strong and cunning, and most from ourselves.

6 Reign o’er us as King, accomplish thy will,
  And powerfully bring us forth from all ill;
  Till, falling before thee, we laud thy loved name,
  Ascribing the glory to God and the Lamb.
