Thou gav'st Thyself for me:
Then may I stand
Steadfastly, true to Thee,
In the foe's land.
For surely Thou art worth
The standing for;
Thou who this hostile earth
Hast' trod before;
Finding no help or friend
To be Thy stay;
Yet faithful to the end
Of the dark way.
So may it be with me,
In these dark days—
Looking alone to Thee,
Seeking Thy praise;
Standing for Thee alone,
Held by Thine hand;
And having all things done,
Yet still, to stand.
