Dependence on Christ alone. John 13. 1; 1 Pet. 1. 5

1 If ever it could come to pass,
  That sheep of Christ might fall away,
  My fickle, feeble soul, alas!
  Would fall a thousand times a day;
  Were not thy love as firm as free,
  Thou soon would’st take it, Lord, from me.

2 I on thy promises depend;
  At least I to depend desire;
  That thou wilt love me to the end,
  Be with me in temptation’s fire;
  Wilt for me work, and in me too,
  And guide me right and bring me through.

3 No other stay have I beside;
  If these can alter, I must fall;
  I look to thee to be supplied
  With life, with will, with power, with all.
  Rich souls may glory in their store,
  But Jesus will relieve the poor.
