Hymns of the Russian Church ‎#81a

81a. Thou art my strength, O God my Lord

Thou art my strength, O God my Lord,
Weak is my arm, and faint my heart;
Thou dost inspire me by Thy word,
And to my life Thy power impart.

The might of evil bars the way,
And towering ramparts threatening frown;
Then sinks my heart in sore dismay,
Then fall my arms in weakness down.

Shorn of my strength I lift my cry,
But God in pity hears my plaint;
And lo, the promised help is nigh,--
His power is given to the faint.

This I have found, Thou dost not fail;
No pleading eye looks up in vain;
Though weak my arm, I must prevail,
If Thou, O Lord, my strength remain.
