LI.

[Help, my loving Lord and Saviour!]

Help, my loving Lord and Saviour!
Saved before, I implore
Thy continued favour.
Still on Thee I cast my care,
Thou art still Pleased to feel
What Thy members bear.
With our weakness and temptation
Touch'd Thou art; Feels Thy heart
Exquisite compassion.
Well Thou know'st the fear and sorrow
Which I know, Sunk in woe,
Trembling for to-morrow;
Trembling, lest without Thy power,
Feeble I Faint and die
In my coming hour:
Tried above what I can bear,
Lest I yield, Lose my shield,
Void of faith and prayer.
Let me now Thy help secure,
Saviour then Strength ordain,
Help me then to' endure.
59

Me baptized into Thy passion,
Made like Thee, Visit me
With Thy great salvation.
By the travail of Thy Spirit
Me sustain, By Thy pain,
By Thy bleeding merit.
In my bitterest affliction
By Thy cup Hold me up,
By Thy dereliction.
Now I have Thine aid bespoken,
Peace impart To my heart,
Give the loving token.
Love of my expiring Saviour
Be the sign I am Thine,
Thou art mine for ever!
