1. Help, Lord, for those who love Thee fail, -
Thy faithful ones fall from the ranks, -
And leave the liars to their tale, -
False gratitude and treacherous thanks.”
2. Lord, may those flattering lips be lashed, -
The boasting mouths stripped of their pride, -
Those tongues that murmur unabashed, -
Who is this God? We shall abide!
3. “Because the poor have been oppressed, -
And in their patience sigh alone, -
I will protect them in My breast,” -
The Lord has said, “These are Mine own.”
4. And what He saith is purified -
Like silver, sevenfold assayed. -
Though by this evil age defied, -
His Word of truth shall be obeyed.
5. His promises shall stand secure, -
His saints are safe, though ill betide, -
He will protect His humble poor, -
Though rogues are honoured far and wide.
