Alas! what hourly dangers rise!

Author: Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 247 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Alas! what hourly dangers rise! What snares beset my way! To heaven, oh, let me lift mine eyes, And hourly watch and pray. 2 How oft my mournful thoughts complain, And melt in flowing tears! My weak resistance, ah, how vain! How strong my foes and fears! 3 O gracious God! in whom I live, My feeble efforts aid; Help me to watch, and pray, and strive, Though trembling and afraid. 4 Increase my faith, increase my hope, When foes and fears prevail; And bear my fainting spirit up, Or soon my strength will fail. 5 Oh, keep me in thy heavenly way, And bid the tempter flee! And let me never, never stray From happiness and thee. Topics: The Christian Life Trial and Patience; Dangers by the Way Scripture: Psalm 56:13
