Hymn No. 129 |
Equip me for the war,
And teach my hands to fight;
My simple, upright heart prepare,
And guide my words aright.
Control my every thought;
My whole of sin remove;
Let all my works in Thee be wrought,
Let all be wrought in love.
O arm me with the mind,
Meek Lamb! which was in Thee;
And let my knowing zeal be join'd
With perfect charity:
With calm and temper'd zeal
Let me enforce Thy call;
And vindicate Thy gracious will,
Which offers life to all.
O may I love like Thee!
In all Thy footsteps tread!
Thou hatest all iniquity,
But nothing Thou hast made.
O may I learn the art,
With meekness to reprove;
To hate the sin with all my heart
But still the sinner love.
