John 20:28: Arm me Lord with double grace
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Arm me Lord with double grace,
That I may with caution tread,
Circumspect in all my ways,
Humbly to myself take heed;
First myself from evil keep,
Then o'erlook and guard the sheep.
Fill my heart with watchful love
For the flock so dearly bought,
Lest a single soul should rove,
Perish through their shepherd's fault;
Jesus keep them all and guide,
All in Thy own bosom hide.
