- Why should I fear the darkest hour,
Or tremble at the tempter's power?
Jesus vouchsafes to be my tower.
- Though hot the fight, why quit the field?
Why must I either flee or yield?
Since Jesus is my mighty shield?
- I know not what may soon betide
Or how my wants shall be supplied;
But Jesus knows and will provide.
- Though sin would fill me with distress,
The throne of grace I dare address,
For Jesus is my righteousness.
- Though faint my prayers and cold my love,
My steadfast hope shall not remove
While Jesus intercedes above.
- Against me earth and hell combine;
But on my side is power divine;
Jesus is all and he is mine. Amen.
