5 Thee, holy Lord, we must obey, Though Men reproach us still; Yet let us do what thou dost say, And yield unto thy Will;
6 And still alone on thee rely, And not on what we do; In point of trust we fly to thee, And let our own works go;
7 And though in minding thy sweet truth Men do us vilify, Yet we resolve, Lord in thy strength, To own them till we die.
