Page 281 Jesus, I trust in thee, That when my work is done, The servant with his Lord shall be, A sharer of thy throne. "Let thy loving Spirit lead me forth into the land of righteousness." Psalm cxliii. 10. Jesus, thy loving Spirit alone Can lead me forth, and make me free, Burst every bond thro' which I groan, And set my heart at liberty: Now let thy Spirit bring me in, And give thy servant to possess The land of rest from inbred sin, The land of perfect righteousness. "I will sing a new song unto thee, O God." Psalm cxliv. 9. Glory and thanks to him belongs Who left his throne above, The new, the gospel-song of songs Is due to Jesu's love: Join all on earth in Jesu's praise, And then to heaven repair, To vie with the angelic race, Or mend their anthems there. "It is he who delivereth from the sword." Psalm cxliv. 10. Jesus, the man's defender be For whom I humbly pray, Cover the head so dear to me In battle's dangerous day; When thousands fall on either hand, Deliver from the sword, And strengthen him by faith to stand The soldier of the Lord.
