I can­not stum­ble or go wrong
With mer­ri­est hearts to Je­sus our king;
There’s work for the fee­ble and strong;
Th’al­migh­ty Sav­ior came,
A man of griefs; and lo,
Gentleness, meek­ness and love,
His zeal in­spired their breast;
Of all the dea­cons crown,

fol­low­ing

He is my stay and my de­fense,
United and lov­ing, we ev­er re­joice.
There’s work for the old and the young.
An an­gel armed in flame.
His track of pain and woe:
Up to the man­sions above.
Possess the pro­mised rest.
