Help us, O Jesus,
Thou mighty Defender,
Help when the forces
of evil appear;
Help us to battle
and never surrender,
Help us to conquer,
and drive away fear;
Satan is cunning,
the prince of deceivers,
Bringing disaster
to many believers.
Help us, O Jesus,
in hours of temptation,
When both our faith
and our courage are weak;
Teach us to look
to the sign of salvation,
And near Thy cross
a new armor to seek;
Then we shall conquer,
if Thou wilt befriend us,
Thou wilt prevail
and our faith will defend us.
Help us, O Jesus,
when death shall spread terror,
And our poor eyes
are too feeble to see;
Cleanse us and purge us
from sin and from error;
That we may blindly
in faith cling to Thee;
Help us, O Jesus,
we conquer in dying,
Unto the last
on Thy mercy relying.
