Verse 1
Jesus, God of my salvation,
Send the promis’d help I claim,
Bring me thro’ my sore temptation,
Manifest thy saving name:
Art thou not the same for ever?
Do not I on thee depend?
O continue to deliver,
Save me, save me to the end.
Verse 2
From thy feeble helpless creature
Never, never, Lord, depart,
Shew thyself than Satan greater,
Greater than my evil heart:
If the fiend must vex me longer,
Buffet still my trembling soul,
Jesu, shew thyself the stronger,
Keep me, ’till thou mak’st me whole.
Verse 3
Let me, while my faith is trying,
Rest in thy atoning blood,
Always bear about the dying
Of my dear redeeming God;
’Till I all thy life inherit,
Let me in thy wounds abide,
Shelter there my weary spirit;
Save me, who for me hast died.
