Verse 1
Jesus, the promise made by thee
We plead, and touching this agree,
To ask it for our friend;
The help thou only canst bestow,
Deliv’rance from her cruel foe,
A swift deliv’rance send.

Verse 2
The virtue of thy saving name,
To-day, as yesterday the same,
In her relief exert;
The fiend who dares thy temple seize,
No longer suffer him t’ oppress,
But bid him now depart.

Verse 3
Thou canst with equal ease make whole
The body and the sin-sick soul,
Physician of mankind:
Thy patient, Lord, at once restore,
Fill’d with th’ spirit of love and pow’r,
And of a healthful mind.

Verse 4
Cloth’d with humility and grace,
Thy sav’d, thy happy handmaid place
Attentive at thy feet;
And never may she thence remove,
Till spotless in thy sight above
She finds her joy compleat.
