Jesus help me! I was wounded
When my father Adam fell
Born in sin and earthly-minded
Destined for the fires of hell
Be my rock on which is grounded
My sure hope with you to dwell
All my guilt now disregarded:
Blood of God, God’s wrath shall quell
Jesus help me! I am weary
From my struggles daily new
Lord my duty feels so dreary
And I often am untrue
Be my light to see more clearly
Help me find my all in you
Help me love your way more dearly,
Find once more the joy I knew
Jesus help me! I am worried
Future fears my joy would mar
By the cares of earth I’m hurried
Trusting my own strength too far
Be my gold in heaven buried
Be my way, my guiding star.
Help me ever say, unwearied,
“Trust the hand that bears love’s scar”
