For the tempted, Lord, we pray ; For the souls that go astray ; Weak and weary, tempest-tost, Stars all hid, and compass lost ; Sailors on the dangerous seas----- God of love, we pray for these.
2. For the tempted, Lord, we pray ; Thou didst make them, Thine are they ; When alluring forms are nigh, When a thousand voices cry, Loud and clear above them all Let them hear Thy tender call.
3. For the tempted, Lord, we pray ; For the souls that go astray, Beaten back by storm and sleet, Scorned by all they chance to meet ; On them let Thy mercy shine, Still remember they are Thine.
4. For the tempted, Lord, we pray ; Dust and ashes----- such are they ! Hear them while they make their moan; Thou canst save, and Thou alone : See, their feet are on the sands ; Christ of Calvary, hold their hands.
