2 Chronicles 20:12: Thou know'st, I know not what to do
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Thou know'st, I know not what to do.
But turn on Thee my wishful eye.
The help of man, the means, look through.
On Thee, on Thee alone rely:
Mine eye of faith, desire and prayer
For ever fix'd on heaven, attends,
Till saved I find a Spokesman there,
And God into my heart descends.
Caught in the toils of hell and sin.
One farther step I cannot go;
What shall I do my God to win?
My God, and none beside can show:
