Jesus, with Thy Church abide, Be her Savior, Lord, and Guide,
While on earth her faith is tried:
We beseech Thee, — hear us, O hear us!
Keep her life and doctrine pure, Help her, patient to endure,
Trusting in Thy promise sure:
We beseech Thee, — hear us, O hear us!
Be Thou with her all her days, May she, safe from error's ways,
Toil for Thine eternal praise:
We beseech Thee, — hear us, O hear us!
May she guide the poor and blind, Seek the lost until she find,
And the broken-hearted bind: We beseech Thee, hear us
Save her love from growing cold, make her watchful, strong and bold
Fence her round, Thy peaceful fold: We beseech Thee, hear us, O hear us!
Arm her soldiers with the cross, brave to suffer toil and loss,
Counting earthly gain but dross: We beseech Thee,
May she holy triumph win, finally free from every sin,
Gather all the nations in: We beseech Thee, — hear us, O hear us, Hear us! Hear us!
