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.

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.

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