Succor of the Tempted

Verse 1

Succor of the tempted, Hear me when I call; Turn to me in mercy, At thy feet I fall; Help me bear life’s crosses, All my sins forgive, Like my Lord and Master, Daily may I live.

Verse 2

Give me strength, I pray thee, To resist the ill, When my courage fails me, Be my comfort still; Thou hast known temptation, Yet without a sin, By thy strength I’ll conquer, By thy grace I’ll win.

Verse 3

In my darkest trials, Be my constant friend; Lead me ev’ry moment To my journey’s end; When the waves of Jordan Fiercely round me roll, In thine arms of mercy, Bear my fainting soul.
