    A hymn by Isaac Watts, in common meter, entitled, "Christ, our strength and righteousness":

    My Savior, mine Almighty friend,
    When I begin thy praise,
    Where will the growing numbers end,
    The numbers of thy grace?

    Thou art my everlasting trust;
    Thy goodness I adore;
    And since I knew thy graces first,
    I speak thy glories more.

    My feet shall travel all the length
    Of the celestial road,
    And march with courage in thy strength,
    To see my Father, God.

    When I am filled with sore distress
    For some surprising sin,
    I'll plead thy perfect righteousness,
    And mention none but thine.

    How will my lips rejoice to tell
    The vict'ries of my King!
    My soul, redeemed from sin and hell,
    Shall thy salvation sing.

    Awake, awake, my tuneful pow’rs;
    With this delightful song
    I'll entertain the darkest hours,
    Nor think the season long.
