Hope of the desolate, Lord over all,
Heed while I supplicate, hear when I call;
O thou most merciful, fain would I be
Near to thy fount of grace, near unto thee.
Mighty Deliv'rer, to thee I flee;
Mighty Deliv'rer, my refuge be!
From sin's captiviity
Haste to deliver me,
Mighty Deliv'rer, my trust is in thee.
Leave me not comfortless, pleading in vain,
With thine abundant grace my soul sustain;
Strengthen my fainting heart, lead me aright,
Out of sin's night of gloom, into thy light.
Mighty Deliv'rer, to thee I flee;
Mighty Deliv'rer, my refuge be!
From sin's captiviity
Haste to deliver me,
Mighty Deliv'rer, my trust is in thee.
Faith in thy promises, trust in thy love,
(Tender, compassionate), draws me above;
From ev'ry bond of sin let me be free,
From the great Tempter's pow'r deliver me.
Mighty Deliv'rer, to thee I flee;
Mighty Deliv'rer, my refuge be!
From sin's captiviity
Haste to deliver me,
Mighty Deliv'rer, my trust is in thee.
And when my earthly life neareth its close,
O may I peacefully sink to repose;
As thy beloved sleep, trusting in thee;
Out of death's solemn hour deliver me.
Mighty Deliv'rer, to thee I flee;
Mighty Deliv'rer, my refuge be!
From sin's captiviity
Haste to deliver me,
Mighty Deliv'rer, my trust is in thee.
