The protection of His child and treasure Is a charge that on Himself He laid; “As your days, your strength shall be in measure,” This the pledge to me He made. 3 Help me then in ev'ry tribulation So to trust Thy promises, O Lord, That I lose not faith’s sweet consolation Offered me within Thy holy word. Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting, E'er to take, as from a father’s hand, One by one, the days, the moments fleeting, Till I reach the promised land.
