     marker 99|  |  |  |  | Afflicted soul to Jesus dear,
 Thy Saviour’s gracious promise hear;
 His faithful word declares th thee
 That as thy days thy strength shall be.
 
 
 Let not thy heart despond and say
 How shall I stand the trying day;
 He has engaged, by firm decree,
 That as thy days thy strength shall be.
 
 
 The Christian race with patience run
 Till grace complete the work begun,
 And ne’er from arduous duty flee;
 For as thy days thy strength shall be.
 
 
 If called to bear thy needful cross,
 Sickness or pain, distress or loss,
 Still in the trials thou shalt see
 That as thy days thy strength shall be.
 
 
 And when the hour at length shall come,
 which calls thee to the lonely tomb,
 He still from every fear shall free;
 And as thy days thy strength shall be.
