HEAR AND HELP ME.

Darkness and death are round me, The night is late; Yet once the Shepherd found me In such a state! He lulled my fears to rest, He took me to his breast; Is he less kind to-day? Lord Jesus, hear me pray!

Oh, hear me pray! Remove the hateful sin Which cankers all within And shrouds my way. Oh, hear me in my anguish, My Saviour God! I droop, I faint, I languish Beneath thy rod: I tremble on the brink, Support me or I sink: Oh, hear me while I cry; Oh, save me or I die!
