Verse 1
Author of everlasting Bliss,
To All who thy Commands obey,
By Faith impower us to DO THIS,
Here let us for thy Coming stay,
Kept by thy sure unerring Word,
Girt with thy Spirit’s two-edg’d Sword.

Verse 2
Thou knowst our feeble wavring Heart,
So often weary of thy Ways,
So faint, and ready to depart
And leave the Channels of thy Grace,
So prone to fleshly Liberty,
So sick of waiting long for Thee.

Verse 3
Thou knowst the Number of our Foes,
Their cunning Craftiness and Power,
Who Thee, and thy Commands oppose;
Watchful thy People to devour,
They still our every Path beset,
And hunt our Souls with Satan’s Net.

Verse 4
Servants of Sin, by Nature led,
Freedom they promise us, and Peace,
Friends to the World, and free indeed
From real inward Righteousness,

[unfinished]
