3 Weak as you are, you shall not faint, Or fainting shall not die ; Jesus, the strength of every saint, Will aid you from on high.

4 Though sometimes unperceived by sense, Faith sees him always near, A guide, a glory, a defence ; Then what have you to fear ?

5 As surely as he overcame And triumph d once for you ;
