HYMN 859

C.M



1.  O God, the help of all Thy saints

     Our hope in time of ill

     We trust Thee, though Thy face be-hid

     And seek Thy presence still.


2.  Why should the men of pride and sin 

     Thy truth and pow‘r defy

     And boast, as if their evil way 

     Were hidden from Thine eye?


3.  Lord, Thou hast seen, arise and save 

     To Thee our cause we bring

     Reign Thou in righteousness and pow’r 

     For Thou alone art King.


4.  All our desires to Thee are known 

     Thine help is ever near

     O first prepare our hearts to pray 

     And then accept our pray’r.  Amen
