Our Own Weakness, and Christ Our Strength

Isaac Watts • English

Primary Scripture: Deuteronomy 33:25

Verse 1

Let me but hear my Saviour say, "Strength shall be equal to thy day;" Then I rejoice in deep distress, Leaning on all-sufficient grace.

Verse 2

I can do all things or can bear All suffering, if my Lord be there; Sweet pleasures mingle with the pains, While he my sinking head sustains.

Verse 3

I glory in infirmity, That Christ's own power may rest on me; When I am weak, then am I strong; Grace is my shield, and Christ my song.
