LyicsMY helper, God, I bless his name;
The same his pow'r, his grace the same;
The tokens of his friendly care
Open, and crown, and close the year.
I midst ten thousand dangers stand,
Supported by his guardian hand;
And see, when I survey my ways,
Ten thousand monuments of praise.
Thus far his arm has led me on:
Thus far I make his mercy known;
And while I tread this desert land,
New mercies shall new songs demand.
My grateful soul on Jordan's shore
Shall raise one sacred pillar more;
Then bear in his bright courts above,
Inscriptions of immortal love.
