Grace in Trials

Thou hast disarmed me of the means
in which I trusted,
and I have no strength but in thee.
Thou alone can hold back my evil ways,
but without thy grace to sustain me I fall.
Satan’s darts quickly enflame me,
and the shield that should quench them
easily drops from my hand:
Empower me against his wiles and assaults.
Keep me sensible of my weakness,
and of my dependence upon thy strength.
