By A Collection of Hymns

      L.M.
      1 JESUS, my King, to thee I bow,
      Enlisted under thy command;
      Captain of my salvation, thou
      Shalt lead me to the promised land.

      2 Thou hast a great deliverance wrought,
      The staff from off my shoulder broke,
      Out of the house of bondage brought,
      And freed me from the Egyptian yoke.

      3 O'er the vast howling wilderness,
      To Canaan's bounds thou hast me led;
      Thou bidd'st me now the land possess,
      And on thy milk and honey feed.

      4 I see an open door of hope,
      Legions of sins in vain oppose;
      Bold I with thee, my Head, march up,
      And triumph o'er a world of foes.

      5 Gigantic lusts come forth to fight,
      I mark, disdain, and all break through,
      I tread them down in Jesu's might,
      Through Jesus I can all things do.

      6 Lo! the tall sons of Anak rise!
      Who can the sons of Anak meet?
      Captain, to thee I lift mine eyes,
      And, lo! they fall beneath my feet.

      7 Passion, and appetite, and pride,
      (Pride, my old, dreadful, tyrant-foe)
      I see cast down on every side,
      And conquering, I to conquer go.

      8 My Lord in my behalf appears;
      Captain, thy strength-inspiring eye
      Scatters my doubts, dispels my fears,
      And makes the host of aliens fly.

      9 Who can before my Captain stand?
      Who is so great a King as mine?
      High over all is thy right hand,
      And might and majesty are thine!
