Hymn 608 – WHEN temptation around me roll | C&S English Hymnary

1. WHEN temptation around me roll And eartth care me encompass When appear the foe, friend to be Destruction ploy to o’er me roll. Chorus: O Saviour Lord, me, bid to come As Thou in Eden, Adam called Where art thou sinner sound the voice That I may from the foul be free. 2. When Satan craft’ly me deceive Me to earthly pinacle raise Me entreated, him to worship That earthly stock, I may possess. Chorus: O Saviour Lord... 3. When earthly lusts me now ensnare Thy commands me all to ignore Upon my wand’ring heart impressed In vain assurance “All is well”. Chorus: O Saviour Lord... 4. When all hope and confidence Not in living God now repose Vain incantations now my trust And lusty spells my song at dawn. Chorus: O Saviour Lord... 5. When in my self will, love to walk In the dicates of wand’ring heart When I in my un-stable breast In unstable state, me abide. Chorus: O Saviour Lord... 6. When all my hearing lost, not found And the tracer’s call me ignore When no redemption my hope be And wallowest me in my sins. Chorus: O Saviour Lord... 7. When counsellors from me doth flee And comforters to me entrange When sorrow like the wirl-wind rage My head in penitence to bow. Chorus: O Saviour Lord, me, bid to come As Thou in Eden, Adam called Where art thou sinner sound the voice That I may from the foul be free AMEN
