Tune: | BEDFORD (Rhythmic) |
Composer: | William Wheale, 1690-1727 |
1 O help us, Lord! each hour of need
thy heavenly succour give;
help us in thought and word and deed
each hour one earth we live.
2 O help us, when our spirits bleed
with contrite anguish sore
and when our hearts are cold and dead,
O help us, Lord, the more.
3 O help us, through the prayer of faith
more firmly to believe;
for still the more the servant hath,
the more shall he receive.
4 O help us, Jesu, from on high:
we know no help but thee.
O help us so to live and die
as thine in heaven to be.
