First Line: Help me, O Lord, the God of my salvation ,

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.

2 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, [ne'er depart.
That from Thy paths my feet may

3 Help me, O Lord, when sore temptations press me !
Oh, lift the clouds that hide Thee from my sight !
Help me, O Lord, when anxious cares
distress me, [and bright.
To look beyond, where all is calm

4 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.
