Text: | Lord, for ever at Thy side |
Author: | James Montgomery |
Tune: | WIGAN |
1 Lord, for ever at Thy side
Let my place and portion be!
Strip me of the robe of pride,
Clothe me with humility.
2 Meekly may my soul receive
All Thy Spirit hath revealed.
thou hast spoken;--I believe,
Though the prophecy were sealed.
3 Quiet as a weanéd child,
Weanéd from the mother's breast;
By no subtlety beguiled,
On Thy faithful Word I rest.
4 Saints, rejoicing evermore,
In the Lord Jehovah trust:
Him in all His ways adore,
Wise, and wonderful, and just.
