Help me to watch, Lord! day and night,
This blessèd treasure shielding
From unyielding
Foes, who 'gainst us the might
Of Satan's realm are wielding!
My Saviour! Thou in love to me
Hast down to death descended,
And like a murd'rer on the tree
And thief hast been suspended,
Spit on, despis'd and wounded sore,
