Afflicted saint, to Christ draw near
1
Afflicted saint, to Christ draw near,Thy Saviour's gracious promise hear;His faithful word declares to thee,That as thy day thy strength shall be.
2
Let not thy heart despond, and say,"How shall I stand the trying day?"He has engaged by firm decree,That as thy day thy strength shall be.
3
Thy faith is weak, thy foes are strong,And if the conflict should be long,Thy Lord will make the tempter flee,For as thy day thy strength shall be.
4
Should persecution rage and flame,Still trust in thy Redeemer's name;In fiery trials thou shalt seeThat as thy day thy strength shall be.
