Jesus, throughout my threescore years
I have for Thy salvation stay'd,
And leaving now the vale of tears,
I dare not doubt Thy promised aid;
Kept by Thy power from acting sin.
The end of faith I here shall see,
Thy perfect righteousness brought in,
And pure in heart return to Thee.
Genesis xlix. lo — Exodus i. lo.
