For thee all the pleasures of sin I resign:
Of objects most pleasing I love thee the best;
Without thee I’m wretched, but with thee I’m blessed.
Tho’ weak and despised, by faith I now stand,
Preserv’d and defended by Heaven’s kind hand:
By Jesus supported, I’ll praise his dear name,
Regardless of danger, of praise, or of blame.
I find him in singing, I find him in prayer;
In sweet meditation he always is near:
My constant companion, Oh may we ne’er part!
