By A Collection of Hymns

      C.M. Matthew xv. 25.
      1 HELP us, Lord! each hour of need
      Thy heavenly succour 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 fold, we call,
      Imploring at thy feet
      The crumbs that from thy table fall
      'Tis all we dare intreat.

      5 But be it, Lord of mercy, all,
      So thou wilt grant but this,
      The crumbs that from thy table fall
      Are life, and light, and bliss.

      6 O help us, Jesu, from on high!
      We know no help but thee!
      O help us so to live and die,
      As thine in heaven to be!
