PRAYER FOR HELP.

By A. L. Guilford

O how strong the spell that binds us, In these dark and fearful days; O how often Satan finds us, Thoughtless, doing our own ways.
Jesus, Saviour, pity, guide us, Through the ills along our path; O forgive, and help, and hide us, From the storm of coming wrath.
Lead us safely through the danger Which along our course doth lie, Though a lone and weary stranger, Rest and home are up on high.
When, O when shall we be holy, Pure and spotless like our Head? When like Jesus, meek and lowly, Be to sin forever dead?
Glorious thought! that comes to cheer us, Sands of time are almost out; Hour of triumph draweth near us, Soon we'll hear the victor's shout.
Soon we'll be beyond the power Of our strong and cruel foe; Cheering hope! thrice welcome hour, When we leave these scenes below.
Help us, Saviour, to grow stronger, Leaning on thy gracious word; Wait we then a little longer, Till we hail our coming Lord.
A. L. Guilford. Monroe, Wis.
