Our Weakness, and Christ our Strength. 2 Cor. 12. 9

1 Let me but hear my Saviour say,
  “Strength shall be equal to thy day;”
  Then I rejoice in deep distress,
  Leaning on all-sufficient grace.

2 I glory in infirmity,
  That Christ’s own power may rest on me;
  When I am weak, then am I strong;
  Grace is my shield, and Christ my song.

3 I can do all things, or can bear
  All sufferings, if my Lord be there;
  Sweet pleasures mingle with the pains
  While his left hand my head sustains.

4 But if the Lord be once withdrawn,
  And we attempt the work alone,
  When new temptations spring and rise,
  We find how great our weakness is.
