God Our Helper

By William Brickey

WILLIAM BRICKEY
We have a God of love and pity; He knoweth that our frame is dust, And has prepared for us a city, Where we may dwell among the just, In mansions of eternal glory, Where we may prove redemption's story, And not grow sick, infirm, or hoary, And where our treasures will not rust.
I long to rise above my weakness And live in faith and hope and love, And manifest a Christlike meekness, Born of that Spirit from above. But in myself I find no power To live by faith one single hour; I'd wither like a broken flower, Beneath the sunshine from above.
But if I follow where he leadeth, Obedient to his command, He will give strength as it is needed; For he has power to make me stand Upon the Rock of endless ages, To stand with martyrs, seers, and sages Who have embellished history's pages; And will be found at his right hand.
