Too strong for this weak soul of mine
Satan, the world, and sin, I own,
But trust, O Lord, that love of thine,
Which laid thy life a ransom down;
My soul by love’s victorious power
Thou wilt to perfect liberty,
To perfect holiness restore,
Only because thou diedst for me.
Too strong for this weak soul of mine
