| Text: | Jesus, with Thy Church Abide |
| Author: | Thomas B. Pollock |
| Tune: | HERVEY'S LITANY |
| Composer: | Frederic A. J. Hervey |
1. Jesus, with Thy Church abide,
Be her Savior, Lord, and Guide,
While on earth her faith is tried:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
2. Keep her life and doctrine pure;
Grant her patience to endure,
Trusting in Thy promise sure:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
3. May she one in doctrine be,
One in truth and charity,
Winning men to faith in Thee:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
4. Save her love from growing cold,
Make her watchmen strong and bold,
Fence her round, Thy peaceful fold:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
5. May her lamp of truth be bright,
Bid her bear aloft its light
Thro' the realms of heathen night:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
6. May she holy triumphs win,
Overthrow the hosts of sin,
Gather all the nations in:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
