1 O Dearest SAVIOUR help thou me,
|
To sound thy Gospel Word,
|
That I may cry thy Grace is free,
|
Come trust now in the Lord.
|
2 Perfect thy Strentgh in Weakness now,
|
Shew forth thy mighty Power;
|
For thou art faithful thou art true,
|
Come bless us in this Hour.
|
3 O teach me rightly to divide,
|
Thy Word of Truth alway;
|
That I thy little Flock may feed,
|
And call those back that stray.
|
4 Load me with Cordials from above,
|
Thy Children for to give;
|
That faint for more of JESUS Love,
|
Their Hearts for to revive.
|
5 And give me Plaisters, O my God!
|
For those that Wounded be;
|
The blessed Balm of JESUS Blood,
|
Which cures Effectually.
|
6 Purges are wanting, likewise, LORD,
|
For Souls that are unclean,
|
Thy powerful and unerring Word,
|
Which searches every Vein.
|
7 Thus teach thou me, O LORD my GOD
|
To feed thy Church below,
|
Which thou hast purchasd with thy Blood
|
Where ever I do go.
|
8 Prepare the Peoples Hearts that they,
|
My Message may receive,
|
And for the same praise thee alway,
|
The GOD thro whom we live.
