Wants

Verse 1

Jesu, my strength, my hope, on thee I cast my care, with humble confidence look up, and know thou hearest my prayer. Give me on thee to wait, till I can all things do, on thee, almighty to create. almighty to renew.

Verse 2

I want a godly fear, a quick-discerning eye that looks to thee when sin is near, and bids the tempter fly; a spirit still prepared, and armed with jealous care, for ever standing on its guard, and watching unto prayer.

Verse 3

I want a true regard, a single, steady aim, unmoved by threatening or reward, to thee and thy great name; a jealous, just concern for thine immortal praise; a pure desire that all may learn and glorify thy grace.

Verse 4

I rest upon thy word; thy promise is for me: my succour and salvation, Lord, shall surely come from thee: but let me still abide, nor from my hope remove; till thou my patient spirit guide into thy perfect love.
