God Help Me !

ALONG life's dark and thorny path We wander oft, 'mid tempest's wrath, While darker, darker grows the sky, And from our souls goes up this cry : "God help me !"
Temptation oft allures us out Into the realms of sin and doubt, Until, at last, we lose our way, And cry amid the shadows gray : "God help me !"
Is Heaven so far from earth and me, He can not hear or does not see? If so, oh ! angels take my prayer, And lay it on the altar there-- "God help me !"
Alas ! how many souls like mine, Upon whose path few sunrays shine, To whom the beacon light is dim, There are who cry aloud to Him ! "God help me !"
Oh ! would that I might bring a ray Of light to some one's dreary way ! If such a work to me is given, Oh ! angels bear my prayer to Heaven : "God help me !" —Sel.
