1 Lord, for ever at Thy side
Let my place and portion be:
Strip me of the robe of pride,
Clothe me with humility.
2 Meekly may my soul receive
All Thy Spirit hath reveal'd;
Thou hast spoken--I believe,
Though the oracle be seal'd.
3 Humble as a little child,
Weanéd from the mother's breast,
By no subtleties beguiled,
On Thy faithful word I rest.
4 Israel! now and evermore
In the Lord Jehovah trust;
Him, in all His ways, adore,
Wise, and wonderful, and just.
