Then came she and worshipped Him, saying, Lord, help me.'

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.

p 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.

m30 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 entreat.

5 But be it, Lord of mercy, all,

So Thou wilt grant but this;

The crumbs that from Thy table fall
Are light and life and bliss.

mf 6 0 help us, Saviour, from on high;
We know no help but Thee;

O help us so to live and die
As Thine in heaven to be.

m

Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation.'

FOR a closer walk with God,

A calm and heavenly frame,
A light to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb!

mp 2 Where is the blessedness I knew
When first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul-refreshing view
Of Jesus and His word?

3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!
How sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
The world can never fill.

mp 4 Return, O Holy Dove! return,
Sweet messenger of rest!

m

I hate the sins that made Thee mourn,
And drove Thee from my breast.

The dearest idol I have known,
Whate'er that idol be,

Help me to tear it from Thy throne,

And worship only Thee.

mp 6 So shall my walk be close with God,
Calm and serene my frame;

So purer light shall mark the road.

That leads me to the Lamb.
