Wither without thee and die;
Weak as helpless infancy:
Oh, confirm my soul in thee!

3 Unsustained by thee, I fall;
Send the help for which I call:
Weaker than a bruised reed,
Help I every moment need.

4 All my hopes on thee depend;
Love me, save me to the end;
Give me persevering grace:
Take the everlasting praise.
