Help me, O Lord, the God of my salvation;
I have no hope, no refuge but in Thee;
Help me to make this perfect consecration,
In life or death Thine evermore to be.
Help me, O Lord, to keep my pledge unbroken;
Guard Thou my ways, my thoughts, my tongue, my
heart;
Help me to trust the word which Thou hast spoken,
That from Thy paths my feet may ne’er depart.
Help me, O Lord, when sore temptations press me;
O lift the clouds that hide Thee from my sight;
Help me, O Lord, when anxious cares distress me,
To look beyond, where all is calm and bright.
Help me, O Lord, my strength is only weakness;
Thine, Thine the power by which alone I live;
Help me each day, to bear the cross with meekness,
Till Thou at last the promised crown shalt give.
