LyicsALAS, what hourly dangers rise!
What snares beset my way!
To heav'n, O let me lift mine eyes,
And hourly watch and pray.
O gracious God! in whom I live,
My feeble efforts aid;
Help me to watch, and pray, and strive.
Though trembling and afraid.
Increase my faith, increase my hope,
When foes and fears prevail;
And bear my fainting spirit up,
Or soon my strength will fail.
O keep me in Thy heav'nly way,
And bid the tempter flee!
And let me never, never stray
From happiness and Thee.
