There is no man nor creature here, No angel in the heavenly sphere, Who in my need can succor me; I cry to Thee, For Thee I trust implicitly. 2 My sin is sore and very great, I mourn beneath its grievous load; O free me from this heavy weight, My Saviour, through Thy precious blood; And with Thy Father for me plead That Thou hast suffered in my stead; From me the burden then is rolled. Lord, I lay hold On Thy dear promises of old. 3 And of Thy mercy now bestow True Christian faith on me, O Lord! That all the sweetness I may know Which in Thy holy cross is stored; Love Thee o'er earthly pride or pelf, And love my neighbor as myself; And when at last is come my end, Be Thou my friend, From Satan’s wiles my soul defend. 4 Glory to God in highest heaven, The Father of eternal love; To His dear Son, for sinners given, Whose watchful grace we daily prove; To God the Holy Ghost on high,-- O ever be His comfort nigh, And teach us, free from sin and fear, To please Him here, And serve Him in the sinless sphere.
