Psalm 59: Because Thou hast been my helper, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Who loves me so well, My Helper has been,
And saved me from hell. And saved me from sin;
His gracious protection I joyfully prove.
His strength of affection. His fulness of love.
Thee Jesus, I praise. Who kindly hast spread
The wings of Thy grace To cover my head:
Preserved by Thy favour I gladly remove,
My uttermost Saviour To thank Thee above.
