Help us, O Je­sus, Thou migh­ty De­fend­er,
Help when the forc­es of ev­il ap­pear;
Help us to bat­tle and ne­ver sur­ren­der,
Help us to con­quer, and drive away fear;
Satan is cun­ning, the prince of de­ceiv­ers,
Bringing dis­as­ter to many be­liev­ers.

Help us, O Je­sus, in hours of temp­tation,
When both our faith and our cour­age are weak;
Teach us to look to the sign of sal­va­tion,
And near Thy cross a new ar­mor to seek;
Then we shall con­quer, if Thou wilt be­friend us,
Thou wilt pre­vail and our faith will de­fend us.

Help us, O Je­sus, when death shall spread ter­ror,
And our poor eyes are too fee­ble to see;
Cleanse us and purge us from sin and from er­ror;
That we may blind­ly in faith cling to Thee;
Help us, O Je­sus, we con­quer in dy­ing,
Unto the last on Thy mer­cy re­ly­ing.
