Alas! what hourly dangers rise

Appears in 247 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Alas! what hourly dangers rise, What snares beset my way! To heav'n, oh, let me lift mine eyes, And hourly watch and pray. 2 How oft my mournful thoughts complain, And melt in flowing tears! My weak resistance,--ah, how vain! How strong my foes and fears! 3 O Lord, increase my faith and hope, When foes and fears prevail, And bear my fainting spirit up, Or soon my strength will fail. 4 Oh, keep me in thy heavenly way, And bid the tempter flee; And let me never, never stray From happiness and thee. Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM

Alas, What Hourly Dangers Rise!

Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9482 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Alas, what hourly dangers rise! What snares beset my way! To Heav’n O let me lift my eyes, And hourly watch and pray. 2 How oft my mournful thoughts complain, And melt in flowing tears! My weak resistance, ah, how vain! How strong my foes and fears! 3 My gracious God, in whom I live, My feeble efforts aid, Help me to watch, and pray, and strive, Though trembling and afraid. 4 Increase my faith, increase my hope, When foes and fears prevail; And bear my fainting spirit up; Or soon my strength will fail. 5 Whene’er temptations fright my heart, Or lure my feet aside, My God, Thy powerful aid impart, My guardian and my guide. 6 O keep me in Thy heavenly way, And bid the tempter flee, And let me never, never stray From happiness and Thee.
