Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

Almighty God, I call to thee 
Almighty God, I call to thee, by sore temptation shaken; incline thy gracious ear to me, and leave me not forsaken; for who that feels the power within of past remorse and present sin, can stand, O Lord, before thee? 
On thee alone my stay I place, all human help rejecting; relying on thy sovereign grace, thy sovereign aid expecting, I rest upon thy sacred word, that thou'lt repel him not, O Lord, who to thy mercy fleeth. 
And though I travail all the night, and travail all the morrow, my trust is in Jehovah's might, my triumph in my sorrow; forgetting not that thou of old didst Israel, though weak, uphold; when weakest then most loving! 
What though my sinfulness be great, redeeming love is greater; what though all hell should lie in wait, supreme is my Creator; and he my rock and fortress is, and when most helpless, most I'm his, my strength and my redeemer. 
(1483-1546); trans. anonymous in Hymns for Church and Home, 1859.
