Lean on thyself until thy strength is tried Then ask Gods help it will not be denied. Use thine own sight to see the way to go When darkness falls ask God the path to show. Think for thyself and reason out thy plan God has His work and thou hast thine. Exert thy will and use for self-control God gave thee jurisdiction of thy soul. All thine immortal powers bring into play Think, act, strive, reason, and look up and pray.
