By Thy good Spirit lead From trouble and distress, My erring feet shall tread The path of uprightness. 6 O Lord, for Thy Name's sake Revive my fainting heart; My soul from trouble take, For just and true Thou art. Remove my enemy, My cruel foe reward; In mercy rescue me Who am Thy servant, Lord. Scripture: Psalm 143 Used With Tune: JEWETT
