HELP us, Lord! each hour of need Thy heavenly succour give; Help us in thought, and word, and deed, Each hour on earth we live.

O help us when our spirits bleed With contrite anguish sore; And when our hearts are cold and dead, O help us, Lord, the more!

O help us, through the prayer of faith More firmly to believe; For still the more the servant hath, The more shall he receive!

If, strangers to thy fold, we call, Imploring at thy feet The crumbs that from thy table fall ' Tis all we dare intreat.

But be it, Lord of mercy, all, So thou wilt grant but this, The crumbs that from thy table fall Are life, and light, and bliss.

O help us, Jesu, from on high! We know no help but thee! O help us so to live and die, As thine in heaven to be!
