1 O help us, Lord! each hour of need Thy heavenly succor give: Help us in thought, and word, and deed, Each hour on 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 If, strangers to Thy, we call, Imploring at Thy feet, The crumbs that from Thy table fall, T’is all we dare entreat. 5 But be it, Lord of mercy, all, So Thou wilt grant but this, The crumbs that from Thy table fall, Arc light and life and bliss. 6 O help us, Jesus, from on high; We know no help but Thee! O help us so to live and die As Thine in heaven to be!
