1 O Dearest SAVIOUR help thou me, To sound thy Gospel Word, That I may cry thy Grace is free, Come trust now in the Lord. 2 Perfect thy Strentgh in Weakness now, Shew forth thy mighty Power; For thou art faithful thou art true, Come bless us in this Hour. 3 O teach me rightly to divide, Thy Word of Truth alway; That I thy little Flock may feed, And call those back that stray. 4 Load me with Cordials from above, Thy Children for to give; That faint for more of JESUS Love, Their Hearts for to revive. 5 And give me Plaisters, O my God! For those that Wounded be; The blessed Balm of JESUS Blood, Which cures Effectually. 6 Purges are wanting, likewise, LORD, For Souls that are unclean, Thy powerful and unerring Word, Which searches every Vein. 7 Thus teach thou me, O LORD my GOD To feed thy Church below, Which thou hast purchasd with thy Blood Where ever I do go. 8 Prepare the Peoples Hearts that they, My Message may receive, And for the same praise thee alway, The GOD thro whom we live.
