Ecclesiastes 9:11: Nor swiftness can secure the race

Nor swiftness can secure the race.
Nor strength the battle win,
We get the victory by grace
O'er hell, the world, and sin:
Jesus, we borrow it from Thee,
The power to fight and run;
Thou therefore shalt exalted be
Who all our works hast done!

My utmost strength when I exert,
My utmost strength must fail.
Unless Thou take the sinner's part,
I never can prevail:
But sure I reach the heavenly goal,
If Thou support and guide:
And sanctified by Thee, my soul
Is wholly sanctified.
