Poems (Coolidge)/In Thy Strength

by Helen Elizabeth Coolidge

IN THY STRENGTH

Strong in thy strength all right to do
 Life's battle I can win;
And, in thy strength will put to flight
 Each soul-destroying sin.

Strong in thy strength thy will to love,
 This restless heart I'll calm,
And, in thy strength, vain joys forsake
 Which bring no healing balm.

Strong in thy strength to live or die,
 I'll trust thee, day by day,
And, in thy strength will be content
 That thou shouldst choose my way.

Strong in thy strength, oh, let me be,
 Till victory is won!
And, in thy strength, at length I rise
 To hear thee say, "Well done!"
