369 HYMNS. [PART
2 The world, the devil, and the flesh,
My feeble soul invade }
I find my own resistance rain.
And ask my Savipur’s aid.
3 Whene’er temptations would allure.
Or fill with dread my heart,
My God, to help in time of need, ,
Thy pow’rful grace impart.
4 May fear of thee, and hate of sin,
My watchful soul possess ;
And lively faith and joyful hope
My vigilance increase.
5 Help me to pray, and watch, and strive ;
O bid the tempter flee;
And let me never, never stray
From happiness and thee.

The same.
1 T^HE billows swell, the winds are high.
Clouds overcast my wintry sky;
Out of the depths to thee I call,
My fears are great, my strength is small.
2 O Lord, the pilot’s part perform,
And guide and guard me thro’ the storm y
Defend me from each threat’ning ill,
Control the waves, say, “ Peace, be still.”
3 Amidst the roaring of the sea,
My soul still hangsdier hope on thee ;
Thy constant love, thy faithful care.
Is all that saves me from despair.
4 Dangers of ev’ry shape and name
Attend the foll’wers of the Lamb,
Who leave the world's deceitful shore.
And feave it to return no more.
