1 Hilf, Helfer, hilf in Angst und Not,
erbarm dich mein, du treuer Gott.
Ich bin ja doch dein liebes Kind
trotz Teufel, Welt und aller Sünd.

2 Ich trau auf dich, o Gott, mein Herr.
Wenn ich dich hab, was will ich mehr?
Ich hab ja dich, Herr Jesu Christ,
du mein Gott und Erlöser bist.

3 Des freu ich mich von Herzen fein,
bin gutes Muts und harre dein,
verlaß mich gänzlich auf dein Wort.
Hilf, Helfer, hilf, du treuer Hort!
