Psalm: Full oft Thou hast my helper been

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

Full oft Thou hast my helper been,
When sorely by the world assail'd,
By Satan, and my bosom sin,
My goings. Lord, had well-nigh fail'd:
Thou hast, in honour of Thy name,
Snatch'd me out of the lion's teeth,
Pluck'd as a brand out of the flame,
And saved my soul from endless death.
