Haste, O Lord, my spirit faints;
Hear my weak, but earnest plea:
Saviour of thy trembling saints,
Haste, O haste, to rescue me.
Fierce and many on my soul
Rush the threat’ning powers of hell;
Roll them back, Redeemer, roll,
As the rock the ocean’s swell.
Shame, confusion, fear, and grief,
Visit Lord, thy foes alone!
Light, and comfort, and relief
Beam for ever on thy own.
Help the weak, the fallen raise;
Fill the meek with joy and love;
Guide us through this earthly maze;
Land us safe at home above.
