IV. “O help us, Lord, each hour of need” | | By Henry Hart Milman (1791–1868) |
| | | O 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 | 5 |
| 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; | 10 |
| For still the more Thy servant hath, | |
| The more shall he receive. | |
| |
| O help us, Saviour, from on high, | |
| We know no help but Thee; | |
| O help us so to live and die, | 15 |
| As Thine in heaven to be. | | | | |
