Thou seest my feebleness;
Father! Be Thou my power,
My help and refuge in distress,
My fortress and my tower!
Give me to trust in Thee;
Be Thou my sure abode;
My helm and sword and buckler be,
My Saviour and my God!
Myself I cannot save,
Myself I cannot keep;
But strength in Thee I surely have,
Whose eyelids never sleep.
My soul to Thee alone,
For always, I commend;
Thou lovest me, Father, as Thine own,
And lovest to the end.
---Alternative verses---
Thou seest my feebleness;
Jesus! Be Thou my power,
My help and refuge in distress,
My fortress and my tower!
Give me to trust in Thee;
Be Thou my sure abode;
My horn, and rock, and buckler be,
My Saviour and my God!
My soul to thee alone,
Now, therefore, I commend:
Thou, Jesus, love me as thine own,
And love me to the end!
My soul to thee alone,
Now, therefore, I commend:
Lord, Jesus, love me as thine own,
And love me to the end!
