[A present help in trouble]

There stood by me this night the angel. —xxvii. 23.

A present help in trouble,
Whene'er our wants require,

439

When danger 's nigh,
To Christ we fly,
And find Him always nigher;
No storms or tempests hinder
Our God's commiseration,
Who everywhere
Displays His care,
And shows us His salvation.
With trembling crowds surrounded
With horror and dejection,
Thee, Jesus, Thee
By faith we see,
And rest in Thy protection;
More than an host of angels
Thy promise to deliver
Comforts our hearts,
And strength imparts,
And life that lasts for ever.
