A very present help in trouble.
Psalm 46:1.
Still nigh me, O my Saviour, stand,
And guard in fierce temptation’s hour;
Support by thy almighty hand,
Show forth in me thy saving power;
Still be thine arm my sure defense,
Nor earth nor hell shall pluck me thence.
2 In suffering be thy love my peace,
In weakness be thy love my power;
And when the storms of life shall cease,
O, Saviour, in that trying hour,
In death, as life, be thou my guide,
And save me, who for me hast died.
C. Wesley.
