1 Jesus, with Thy Church abide,
Be her Saviour, Lord, and Guide,
While on earth her faith is tried:
We beseech Thee, hear us.

2 May her voice be ever clear,
Warning of a Judgment near,
Telling of a Saviour dear:
We beseech Thee, hear us.

3 May she guide the poor and blind,
Seek the lost until she find,
And the broken hearted bind:
We beseech Thee, hear us.

4 May her lamp of truth be bright,
Bid her bear aloft its light
Thro' the realms of pagan night:
We beseech Thee, hear us.

5 Judge her not for work undone,
Judge her not for fields unwon,
Bless her works in Thee begun:
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.

AMEN.
