So Shall You Be Established

Verse 1

Lord, we lie before thy feet; Look on all our deep distress; Thy rich mercy may we meet; Clothe us with thy righteousness; Stretch forth thy almighty hand; Hold us up, and we shall stand.

Verse 2

O that closer we could cleave To thy bleeding, dying breast! Give us firmly to believe, And to enter into rest; Lord increase, increase our faith; Make us faithful unto death.

Verse 3

Make thy mighty wonders known; Let us see thy sufferings plain; Let us hear thee sigh and groan, Till we sigh and groan again; Rend, O rend the vail between; Open wide the bloody scene.

Verse 4

Let us trust thee evermore; Every moment on thee call, For new life, new will, new power; Let us trust thee, Lord, for all; May we nothing know beside Jesus, and him crucified.
