My helper, God! I bless His name

Verse 1

My helper, God! I bless His name, The same His power, His grace the same, The tokens of His friendly care care Open, and crown, and close the year.

Verse 2

I ’midst ten thousand dangers stand, Supported by His guardian hand; And see, when I survey my ways, Ten thousand monuments of praise.

Verse 3

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.

Verse 4

My grateful soul, on Jordan’s shore, Shall raise one sacred pillar more, Then bear, in His bright courts above, Inscriptions of immortal love.
