When no help to guide was nigh,

Help God sent me from on high.

When I timid and perplex'd

Often have my spirit vex'd,

Sleepless toss'd thro' all the night,

Sick at heart when dawn'd the light,

When heart fail'd me utterly,

Hast Thou then appear'd to me,

Turning my captivity.

Now as long as here I roam,
