Tune: St Timothy
('O Holy Ghost, thy people bless')
**********
Help us, O Lord, to persevere
Trusting that you are near
Through toil and calm, hope and dismay
May we still watch and pray
Along the way guard us that we
Not dull, complacent be
But seeking to grow in you still
And know all your good will
For you, Christ, the path you have trod
Before us, Son of God
Experiencing life in full
Obeyed your Father's call
To bring salvation unto men
Your way not easy then
But you our yoke do make easy
Light our burdens shall be
The weight of sin you bore it al
In you we shall not fall
We forgiven, relieved can be
Your presence pleasantry
Mild propitiation, you gave
Your life us for to save
Thene rose again that we may share
That life, and so die ne'er
For death shall be our sleeping mode
Until in your abode
We shall awake, eternal morn
In heaven on us shall dawn
We pray for those who not see light
Have dim spiritual sight
O shine upon them, you the Way
To resurrection day
