The Hymnal Of The Protestant Episcopal Church In The Usa

C.M.

[130]St. Peter:

Alexander R. Reinagle, 1836

Henry H. Milman, 1827

O help us, Lord, each hour of need

Thy heavenly succor give:

Help us in thought, in word, and deed,

Each hour on earth we live!

O help us, when our spirits cry

With contrite anguish sore;

And when our hearts are cold and dry,

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, Savior, from on high:

We have no help but thee.

O help us so to live and die

As thine in heaven to be!

Amen.
