1 Do I believe what Jesus saith, And think the gospel true? Lord, make me bold to own my faith, And practise virtue too.
2 Suppress my shame, subdue my fear, Arm me with heavenly zeal, That I may make thy power appear, And works of praise fulfil.
3 If men shall see my virtue shine, And spread my name abroad, Thine is the power, the praise is thine, My Saviour and my God.
4 Thus when the saints in glory meet, Their lips proclaim thy grace; They cast their honours at thy feet, And own their borrow'd rays.
