Jesus, with Thy church abide;
Be
her Savior, Lord, and Guide,
While
on earth her faith is tried:
We
beseech Thee, hear us.
2
May
her voice be ever clear,
Warming
of a judgment near,
Telling
of a Savior dear:
We
beseech Thee, hear us.
3
May
she guide the poor and blind,
Seek
the lost until she find,
And
the broken hearted bind:
We
beseech Thee, hear us.
4
May
she holy triumphs win,
Over
throw the hosts of sin,
Gather
all the nations in:
We
beseech Thee, hear us.
