I wait on thee, my Lord, Till I my strength renew. 2 If in this feeble flesh I may Awhile show forth thy praise : Jesu, support the tottering clay, And lengthen out my days. 3 If such a worm as I can spread The common Saviour's name ; Let him who raised thee from the dead Quicken my mortal frame. 4 Still let me live thy blood to show, Which purges every stain ; And gladly linger out below, A few more years in pain. 5 Spare me till I my strength of soul, Till I thy love, retrieve ; Till faith shall make my spirit whole, And perfect soundness give. 6 Faith to be heal'd thou know'st I have, From sin to be made clean ; Able thou art from sin to save From all indwelling sin. fj40 Seeking fur fall Redemption. 7 Surely thou canst, I do not doubt, Thou wilt, thyself impart ; The bond-woman's base son east out, And take up all my heart. 8 I shall my ancient strength renew : The excellence divine (If thou art good, if thou art true) Throughout my soul shall shine. 9 I shall, a weak and helpless worm, Through Jesus strengthening me, Impossibilities perform, And live from sinning free. 10 For this in steadfast hope I wait ; Now, Lord, my soul restore ; Now the new heavens and earth create, And I shall sin no more.
