Author: Henry H. Milman Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 191 hymnals Lyrics: O help us, Lord, each hour of need Thy heavenly succor give: Help us in thought, in word, and deed, Each hour on earth we live! O help us, when our spirits cry With contrite anguish sore; And when our hearts are cold and dry, O help us, Lord, the more! O help us through the prayer of faith More firmly to believe! For still the more the servant hath, The more shall he receive. O help us, Savior, from on high: We have no help but thee. O help us so to live and die As thine in heaven to be! Amen.

Soon shall this earthly frame, dissolv'd

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Soon shall this earthly frame, dissolv'd, in death and ruins lie; but better mansions wait the just, prepar'd above the sky. 2 An house eternal, built by God, shall lodge the holy mind; When once those prison-walls have fall’n by which ‘tis now confined. 3 Hence, burden'd with a weight of clay, we groan beneath the load, waiting the hour which sets us free, and brings us home to God. 4 We know, that when the soul, uncloth'd, shall from this body fly, ’twill animate a purer frame with life that cannot die. 5 Such are the hopes that cheer the just; these hopes their God hath giv’n; his Spirit is the earnest now, and seals their souls for heav’n. 6 We walk by faith of joys to come, faith grounded on his word; but while this body is our home, we mourn an absent Lord. 7 What faith rejoices to believe, we long and pant to see; we would be absent from the flesh, and present, Lord! with thee. 8 But still, or here, or going hence, to this our labours tend, that, in his service spent, our life may in his favour end. 9 For, Lo! before the Son, as judge, th’ assembled world shall stand, to take the punishment or prize from his unerring hand. 10 Impartial retributions then our different lives await; our present actions, good or bad, shall fix our future fate.
