Matthew 26:56: Thus in temptation
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Thus in temptation I
Shall from my Saviour fly;
Trembling, as the foe draws near.
Wavering, ready to desert.
Save me from the sin I fear.
Help mine unbelief of heart.
I cannot faithful be
But by a power from Thee:
Thee that I may not disown,
Vilely cast my shield away,
Jesus, leave me not alone.
With my soul for ever stay.
