O, help us, Lord! each hour of need

Thy heavenly succor give;

Help us in thought, in word, in deed,

Each hour on earth we live.

O, help us, when our spirits bleed,

With doubt and anguish sore;

And when our hearts are cold and dead,

O, help us, Lord, the more.

O, help us, through the prayer of faith,

More firmly to believe;

For still the more the servant hath,

The more shall he receive.

O, help us, Father! from on high;

We know no help but Thee;

O, help us so to live and die,

As Thine in heaven to be!
