Lord, in the strength of grace,

About this hymn

As printed Words only. As printed: hymn number «654» (large) in the right column of p. 212, under «F. E. Belden.» of hymn 653, with the reference line «558, 762, 584.» in italics beside it (= sing to the tune of hymn 558, 762 or 584); two numbered stanzas at the foot of the right column; «Charles Wesley.» in italics at the end. The first word «LORD» is set in a capital and small capitals. The stanza numbers are printed without a full stop («1 LORD»), numbered «1.»–«2.» here. The print sets a thin space before «;» («own ;»); it is closed up here. Spelling, punctuation and capitals are the print's. Lines 2 and 4 of each stanza are indented in the print. No meter is printed (the text is S. M., 6.6.8.6, like the three tunes of the reference line).
