Hymn 239 – JESUS my strength, my hope | C&S English Hymnary

1. JESUS my strength, my hope On Thee I cast my care With humble confidence look up And know Thou hear'st my prayer Give me on Thee to wait TillI can all things do On Thee, Almighty to create Almighty to renew. 2. I want a godly fear A quick-discerning eye That looks to Thee when sin is near And sees the tempter fly A spirit still prepared And armed with jealous care For ever standing on its guard And watching unto prayer. 3. I want a true regard A single, steady aim Unmoved by threatening or reward To Thee and Thy great name A jealous just concern For Thine immortal praise A pure desire that all may learn And glorify Thy grace. 4. I rest upon Thy word The promise is for me My succour and salvation Lord Shall surely come from Thee But let me still abide Nor from my hope remove Till Thou my patient spirit guide Into Thy perfect love AMEN
