Through Thorny Troubles

Tune: Southwell

(\'Lord Jesus, think on me\')

2 Corinthians 12 v.7-10

*********

If thorn in flesh you know

God may appoint it so

Though we may pray, full mind and heart

It may not full depart

 

But finding, as did Paul

God\'s grace therein it all

Finding that grace sufficient be

Imparted to us free

 

For the Lord\'s strength is made

Perfect in weakness, staid

Be your soul on Him, e\'en glory

In each infirmity

 

So that Christ\'s power may

Rest on you each night, day

Through infirmities, reproaches

Distress, necessities

 

And in persecutions

As His true daughters, sons

All for Christ\'s sake, for when weak we

Are strong in Christ, we see
