Send the Strength for which I call !
Weaker than a bruised Reed,
Help I ev'ry Moment need.

Love me fave me to the End !
Give me the continuing Grace-
Take the everlasting Praise !

Ev'ry weary, wand'ring Spirit,
Guide into thy perfect Peace!

Almighty Gop of Truth and Love!

The Mountain from my Soul remove,
The Hardness of mine Heart :

In Honour to thy Son,

Of jealous, Godly Fear
A Senfibility of Sin,

A Pain to feel it near:

Of Pride or vain Defire,

To catch the Wand'rings of my Will,.
And quench the kindling Fire.

The tender Conscience give:
