Afflicted Saint, to Christ Draw Near
VERSE 1
Afflicted
saint, to Christ draw near—
Thy
Savior’s gracious promise hear,
His
faithful Word declares to thee,
That as
thy days thy strength shall be.
VERSE 2
Let not
thy heart despond and say
“How
shall I stand the trying day?”
He has
engaged by firm decree,
That as
thy days thy strength shall be.
VERSE 3
Thy
faith is weak, thy foes are strong,
And if
the conflict should be long,
The Lord
will make the tempter flee,
For as
thy days thy strength shall be.
VERSE 4
Should
persecution rage and flame,
Still
trust in thy Redeemer’s Name;
In fiery
trials thou shalt see,
That as
thy days thy strength shall be.
VERSE 5
When
called to bear thy weighty cross,
Or sore
affliction, pain, or loss,
Or deep
distress or poverty,
Still as
thy days thy strength shall be.
