DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

"DELIVER us from evil," heavenly Father! It still besets us whereso'er we go! Bid the bright rays of revelation gather To light the darkness in our way of woe! Remove the sin that stains our souls—forever; Our doubts dispel—our confidence restore! Write thy forgiveness on our hearts, and never Let us in vain petition for it more.
Release us from the sorrows that attend us! Our nerves are torn—at every vein we bleed! Almighty Parent! with thy strength befriend us— Else we are helpless in our time of need! Sustain us, Lord, with thy pure Holy Spirit; New vigor give to nature's faltering frame; And, at time's close, permit us to inherit The hope that's promised in the Saviour's name.
