Help Me, O Lord

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.
