1. Restore them in meekness, ye saints of the LORD.
For by grace shall the one who has sinned be restored.
All ye, in the Spirit of God, intercede,
at the throne of God's mercy for another in need.

2. If any man, brethren, has taken a fall,
carry that soul to Jesus: to prayer thou art called.
The burden is lifted to heav'n as you pray
and is laid upon Jesus, Who has power to save.

3. Consider thyself in restoring a soul.
For the evil you seek to destroy can take hold
of even the bravest and strongest and bold.
Laying wait for you, Christian, is that Serpent of old.

4. Though Satan should buffet, our God has ordained
that the strongholds be crushed as we pray in His Name.
We war with the weapons of faith, hope and love;
and the prayer of the righteous, God will hear from above.

5. Take courage! Remember, the battle is won.
He is Faithful to finish what He has begun.
The bruis-ed reed, standing, the flax set aflame,
shall bring honor and glory to His Most Holy Name.
