1 John 5:13: These things have written unto you that believe, &c

Jesus, the promised grace we claim,
The feeblest followers of our Lord
Faintly believing on Thy name,
Confirm, assure us by Thy word,
That conscious of the faith conceal'd,
We now may know the life reveal'd.

Who gently leadest those with young,
Bid every seeking soul rejoice,
Carry us on from weak to strong,
Till govern'd by our Shepherd's voice
In Thee we steadfastly believe,
And all Thy heavenly life receive.
