Through the Whispers

Oh my LORD, I walk through a wormy place
Where the Satan whispers all my fears.
I hear his curses in my thoughts,
And I hear him whisper in my ears.

The dead set ablaze are all around me
And hell is in my inward parts
LORD, raise me up in baptism's waters
And keep me on a steady way so I shall not depart.

LORD, the great and mighty tempest
Blows within my stormy gall;
The great fallen angels trump around me
And they wish to cause my mortal fall.

LORD, the demons raise my hairs
And they make me fear their awesome might.
Yet, my LORD, make me wise beyond my years
Let me win the awesome, worthy fight.

Great are you LORD, to stay off every fear
And great are you and awesome too.
Raise my head above my sorrows
And cause my heart to worship You.

Great fears have troubled me,
And blasphemes whispered
By the people I see around.
Sad faces are there with vapors

LORD, let my heart be never proud.
LORD, cause me to walk with fear
And cause me to find. Mercy's Truth;
LORD, redeem me from their jeers

And cause me to be Thy awesome proof.
LORD, I have a song to sing
I am near my final bed.
Give me place to resist death's sting

Let me have a place to place my head
In heaven's bosom and truth abounding
Let me be with Thee and thy Mercy's fruit.
LORD, save me from my sinning

And let me bear total good truth
To sing thy Word to every ear
And let me be with Thy grace and Cheer
And when they come to wrest my words

LORD Keep me in thy precious truth.
When they come to eat me up
LORD let me awake from this awful dream.
LORD, take me up, and let me be with Thee.
