When
the
world
and
flesh
would
rise,
And
strive
to
draw
me
from
my
Saviour,
Stran-gers
slight,
or
friends
despise,
I
then
more
highly
prize
his
favour,
}
Friends,
believe
me
when
I
tell.
If
Christ
be
present
all
is
well.
The
fulness
of
his
pow'r
I
prove, The
sweetness
of

Jesus
is
the

Love
as

as

The

in

In

But
