AUTHOR of faith, on me confer The all-obtaining grace, Which wrestles and receives in prayer Thy largest promises; The faith unfeigned and unreproved Which can the test abide, From false humility removed, And self-deluding pride.

A perfect confidence inspire From all presumption free, A holy boldness to desire The thing prepared for me; A wisdom to discern and know The time by God designed, A strength that will not let thee go Till I the blessing find.
