Hymn Context Compare
Lord, make me bold to own my faith,
Thee, O Christ, the Fa­ther’s splen­dor,
That truth may guide wher­e’er we go,
Who ex­plains the won­drous way,
Who call Thy death to mind,
The seed shall sure­ly grow.
Thy blood, dear Je­sus, Thine alone,
But leaves a sting be­hind.
Lead the soul away,
God will give him grace and pow­er,
Seek thus to be like Thee.
Kingdoms on firm foun­da­tions stand,
From the hap­py ones there,
The holy Gos­pel we pro­fess;
And thus to heav­en­ly joys hath sped.
By tempt­ing me to act a sin,
Its will­ing soul to keep Thy law;
She knew her Lord had come;
And with love ine­bri­ate;
That our first par­ents felt his pow­er;

vir­tue

Suppress my shame, sub­due my fear,
In the pre­sence of the an­gels
O grant us light, that we may see
These the vir­tue did con­vey,
The Lover of man­kind,
A large in­crease shall give,
Here we will rest our on­ly plea,
The ag­èd and the young;
Into sin to stray.
By the help of God, most ten­der,
And with Thy gifts con­tent;
And sin­ners per­ish from the land
Praise ye the Lord, His mer­cies show,
To prove the doc­trine all di­vine.
Who on­ly do­est won­drous things,
end
Dawn ev­en with its dawn­ing youth!
The migh­ty deed was done.
And ma­ture its glo­ri­ous fruit.
An ea­sy prey to death and hell.
