Hymns for Children, 30

But we, by divers ways,
May fall from Jesu's grace,
Let Him every moment go,
Lose our treasure and reward
Watch we then against our foe.
Stand for ever on our guard.

With reverential joy
Let us our time employ;
Joy at Jesu's hands receive,
Temper'd with a serious fear,
Humbly, circumspectly live,
Sin, the world, and hell so near.

Dangers and snares abound,
And ever close us round
Numberless malicious powers
Fight against us night and day;
Satan as a lion roars.
Watching to devour his prey.

But our almighty Lord
Shall still His help afford.
Arm us with His patient mind.
Till we see our conflicts past;
Perfect joy and safety find.
More than conquerors at last.
