O God, the help of all Thy saints,

1.

O God, the help of all Thy saints,

Our hope in time of ill:

We trust Thee, though Thy face be hid,

And seek Thy presence still.

2.

Why should the men of pride and sin

Thy truth and power defy;

And boast, as if their evil way

Were hidden from Thine eye?

3.

Lord, Thou hast seen; arise and save.

To Thee our cause we bring;

Reign Thou in righteousness and power,

For Thou alone art King.

4.

All our desires to Thee are known;

Thy help is ever near;

O first prepare our hearts to pray,

And then accept our prayer!
