O save me, Power Of powers supreme, in that tremendous hour! Thou, who beneath the frowns of fate hath stood, And in Thy dreadful agony sweat blood; Thou who for me, through ev’ry throbbing vein, Hast felt the keenest edge of mortal pain; Whom death led captive through the realms below, And taught those horrid mysteries of woe: Defend me, O my God! O save me, Power Of powers supreme, in that tremendous hour!
