1. Help, Lord, the souls that thou hast made, the souls to thee so dear; in prison for the debt unpaid of sin committed here.
2. These holy souls, they suffer on, Resign’d in heart and will, until thy high behest is done, and justice has it s fill.
3. For daily falls, for pardon’d crime, they joy to undergo the shadow of thy cross sublime the remnants of thy woe.
4. Oh, by their patience of delay their hope amid their pain, their sacred Zeal to burn away, disfigurement and stain:
5. Oh, by their fire of love, not less in keeness than the flame; oh by their very helplessness; oh, by their own great Name.
6. Good Jesus, help! Sweet Jesus, aid the souls to thee most dear, in prison for the debt unpaid of sins committed here.
