Thou seest my feebleness;

Father! be Thou my power,

My help and refuge in distress,

My fortress and my tower!

Give me to trust in Thee;

Be Thou my sure abode;

My helm and sword and buckler be,

My Saviour and my God!

Myself I cannot save,

Myself I cannot keep;

But strength in Thee I surely have,

Whose eyelids never sleep.

My soul to Thee alone,

For always, I commend;

Thou lovest me, Father, as Thine own,

And lovest to the end.
