Note.—This tune is sometimes sung in duple time. To effect this all the semibreves must be counted as minims.

H. H. Milman, 1791–1868.

O 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.

2 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.

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

4. 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.
