Help me to run the Christian race,
And enter safe my hiding place.
Then with enlarged powers,
I'll triumph in redeeming love,
Eternal ages will I praise
My Lord for such a hiding place.

[A] 'Tis a comfortable thought that the promises of God are all given for the express purpose that we may have great and strong consolations, who make our duty and our privilege to be found pleading them at the throne of grace;
O then be earnest, take no nay,
He'll answer every good desire;
