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!
