Hymn
Help Me, Lord, By Thy Great Power
Words: Rygh, George Taylor, 1860-1942
1
Help me, Lord, by Thy great power, Help me fight the bitter fight; Go with me when tempests lower, Leave me neither day nor night; Weak of will, O Christ, I need Thee When upon the brink I stand; I may fall; but, Savior, lead me: Hold me by Thy pow'rful hand.
2
O how blest if when around me Close the dark'ning shades of night, I might say when death has found me. I have fought a winning fight; I have kept the faith victorious; Finished is my course of strife; And before me shines all glorious My reward, the crown of life.
3
Amen.
