Hymns of the Lutheran Church

271 Savior, when we call, O hear us;

1 Savior, when we call, O hear us; In the trying hour be near us, Lest the foe should prove too strong: To Thy mercy we betake us; Never leave us, nor forsake us; Power and grace to Thee belong. 2 Other help than Thine we have not; Other help than Thine we crave not; 'Tis enough if we have this: This from every ill secures us; Every blessing this ensures us; More than life Thy favor is. 3 Keep us on Thy strength relying, In Thy name the foe defying; Till Thy coming bring us peace. O how sweet the thought, and cheering, In the day of Thine appearing Trouble shall for ever cease.
