242. Jesus Christ, our Savior

1 Jesus Christ, our Saviour,
Once for us a child,
In Thy whole behaviour,
Meek, obedient, mild;
In Thy footsteps treading
We Thy lambs will be,
Foe nor danger dreading,
While we follow Thee.

2 For all Thou bestowest,
All Thou dost withhold,
Whatsoe'er Thou knowest
Best for us, Thy fold.
For all gifts and graces
While we live below,
Till in heavenly places
We Thy face shall know.

3 We, Thy children, raising
Unto Thee our hearts,
In Thy constant praising
Bear our duteous parts.
As Thy love hath won us
From the world away,
Still Thy hands put on us;
Bless us day by day.

4 Let Thine Angels guide us;
Let Thine Arms enfold;
In Thy Bosom hide us,
Sheltered from the cold;
To Thyself us gather,
'Mid the ransomed host,
Praising Thee, the Father,
And the Holy Ghost.

Amen.
