Revelation 3:2: Strengthen the things which remain, that are, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)
Wuat good remains in me?
An impotent desire,
A spark of faint sincerity,
But ready to expire:
Father, Thy Spirit bestow;
I ask in Jesu's name,
And thus I strengthen it, and blow
The spark into a flame.
Lord, to Thy cross I flee
In my extreme distress,
And take the strength laid up on Thee
To help my feebleness:
Revelation it. 28—sit. 10.
Grace unto them that faint
Thou promisest to give,
And sure as grace supplies my want,
My dying soul shall live.
