Make known to me The truth, I faint in tumults, words and war; Reach thou to me a helping hand afar. | Enough to know that in thy word is found The remedy: That he who asks, in knowledge shall abound Eternally. Thy voice shall never such a one upbraid But in thy favor bask all unafraid. 1 venture, then, thy Presence to implore, | This lovely morn; Whate'er the answer is for me in store, | Or danger borne! 1 Grant me my heart's desire: "Which church is right?" J Show me the way, and save me from the night. s z s He cries for help, when demons' powers alarm, In dark despair; 'Tis then God's light is seen to shield from harm, And in the air, In glory, Father and the Son appear, Commanding him the Savior Son to hear!
