8.8.8 with Alleluias Tunes1.
When temptations around me about
And world problems encompass me
When the foe appear as a friend
To seek after my destruction
Refrain
O Lord call upon me to come
As Thou in move garden call’d Adam
Saying, “where art thou” o sinner
That I am from the fault be free
2.
When Satan tends to deceive me
To world’s highest hill then lift me
With his command to bow for him
That I may possess all world’s lusts
3.
When glories of the world tends to
Force me to go against Thy laws
When behind me stood against me
With promise that, all will be well
4.
When all my expectations fail
And idol and strange gods follow
When incantations be my song
And spells became my morning prayer
5.
When in my will, I love to walk
In heretic love of my heart
And when my heart moves here and there
When neither cold nor hot I am
6.
When I am lost like the bush dog
Who fails to hear the hunter’s call
When hope to return failure be
Then in sins I wallow always
7.
When there is no sympathizers
And comforters far’way from me
When sorrows like storm covers me
And bow my head in repentance
Amen
