In my distress Thou helpest me.
To Thee myself I all commend:
O swiftly now Thine angel send
To guide me home, and cheer my heart,
Since Thou dost call me to depart!
2 0 Jesus Christ, Thou Lamb of God,
Once slain to take away our load!
Now let Thy Cross, Thine agony,
Avail to save and solace me;
Thy Death to open heaven, and there
Bid me the joy of angels share.
3 0 Holy Spirit, at the end,
Sweet Comforter, be Thou my Friend!
When death and hell assail me sore,
Leave me, O leave me nevermore,
But bear me safely through the strife,
As Thou hast promised, into Life. Topics: Death and Eternity Preparation for Death; Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity; Twenty Fifth Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: VENI CITO
