Hymn No. 129

X Close this

 

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.
