"Though afflicted in body as a cripple, Askins was full of spirit, and a stranger to fear.' He was known to preach with "considerable adroitness' and boldly, causing sinners to tremble and saints to rejoice. Some of his last words were, 'The Lord our God is my God.'" - Songs, and Hymns, and Spiritual Songs, #881 - Brethren, We Have Met to Worship. Hymnbook link:

Tempo note: this was sung up-tempo in cut time on purpose, as this song usually drags, and since there are 5 verses, using cut time made it feel a lot more energetic. If it's too fast for you, sorry!
Text note: This version from this hymnal uses slightly different words in a few phrases that what is traditionally sung. I'm not sure the reason for that, but I did not "change the words."
