1. Jesu, Whom Thy children love,
Hear us, Lord, from heaven above,
On our knees, to Thee, we pray,
Keep and guide us night and day.
2. Guide our feet the narrow way,
Guide our thoughts lest they may stray,
Guard our tongues from ev'ry ill,
Teach us, Lord, to know thy will.
3. Teach us, Lord, our cross to bear,
That a crown in heaven we wear,
With the infant Martyr band,
Praising Thee at Thy right hand.
4. Jesu, the Saviour, Shepherd, King,
Glory, praise, to Thee we sing,
Day by day we Thee adore,
Ever, ever and forevermore.
Amen.
