Jesus, the Son of God, in Thee.
I trust for that last victory,
And kept by my eternal Friend,
I keep Thy works, till life shall end,
Obedient unto death endure,
And find Thy richest promise sure.
So when Thou shalt on earth appear,
To fix Thy heavenly kingdom here,
I shall with my Redeemer join,
Partake the victory Divine,
And clothed with Thy resistless power
The Conqueror of the world adore.
NiOles ell Le Q

With Thee in full paternal might
Vested, I shall go forth to fight,
Shall see the nations broke, subdued,
And scatter'd by Thine iron rod,
(Swift as the shiver'd vessel flies,)
And share the triumph of the skies.
