Author: Percy Dearmer (1867-1936); John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #692 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.7 Tune Title: QUEM PASTORES LAUDAVERE Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, good above all other,
gentle child of gentle mother,
in a stable born our brother,
give us grace to persevere.
2 Jesus, cradled in a manger,
for us facing every danger,
living as a homeless stranger,
make we thee our King most dear.
3 Jesus, for thy people dying,
risen Master, death defying,
Lord in heaven, thy grace supplying,
keep us to thy presence near.
4 Jesus, who our sorrows bearest,
all our thoughts and hopes thou sharest,
thou to us the truth declarest;
help us all thy truth to hear.
5 Lord, in all our doings guide us;
pride and hate shall ne'er divide us;
we'll go on with thee beside us,
and with joy we'll persevere. Topics: Blessed Virgin Mary; Children and All-Age Worship; Church Year Christmas; Jesus compassion; Jesus Life and Ministry; Perseverance; Proper 22 Year B Languages: English
