On thyself relying, battling for thy life;
Trust thyself no longer,
Trust to Christ—He’s stronger;
I can all things, all things do
Through Christ, which strengtheneth me.
Are you sometimes weary—heart not always light?
Doubt your Savior never,
This your motto ever:
I can all things, all things do
Through Christ, which strengtheneth me.
Help you in your troubles and your pleasures too;
Say, when Satan’s by you;
Say, when all things try you:
I can all things, all things do
Through Christ, which strengtheneth me.
You need never stumble, Satan cannot stay,
Will but tempt you vainly,
If you tell him plainly:
I can all things, all things do
Through Christ, which strengtheneth me.
He is always able, able to keep me,
Power bring from my weakness,
Glory from my meekness:
I can all things, all things do
Through Christ, which strengtheneth me.
