1 GOD of love, that hear'st the prayer, Kindly for thy people care, Who on thee alone depend: Love us, save us to the end.
2 Save us, in the prosperous hour, From the flattering tempter's power, From his unsuspected wiles, From the world's pernicious smiles.
3 Cut off our dependence vain On the help of feeble man, Every arm of flesh remove; Stay us on thy only love!
4 Men of worldly, low design, Let not these thy people join, Poison our simplicity, Drag us from our trust in thee.
5 Save us from the great and wise, Till they sink in their own eyes, Tamely to thy yoke submit, Lay their honours at thy feet.
6 Never let the world break in; Fix a mighty gulf between: Keep us little and unknown, Prized and loved by God alone.
7 Let us still to thee look up, Thee, thy Israel's Strength and Hope; Nothing know, or seek, beside Jesus, and him crucified.
8 Far above all earthly things, Look we down on earthly kings; Taste our glorious liberty, Find our happy all in thee!
