Lord, for ever at thy side
let my place and portion be,
strip me of the robe of pride,
clothe me with humility.
Meekly may my soul receive
all thy Spirit hath revealed;
thou hast spoken; I believe,
though the oracle be sealed.
Humble as a little child,
weanèd from the mother's breast,
by no subtleties beguiled,
on thy faithful word I rest.
Israel, now and evermore
in the Lord Jehovah trust;
him, in all his ways, adore,
wise and wonderful and just.
---Alternative verses---
Quiet as a weanèd child,
Weanèd from the mother’s breast,
By no subtlety beguiled,
On Thy faithful Word I rest.
Saints rejoicing evermore,
In the Lord Jehovah trust,
Him, in all His ways, adore,
Wise, and wonderful, and just.
Israel, now and evermore
In the Lord Jehovah trust;
Him in all his ways adore
Wise, and powerful, and just.
