Jesus, with Thy Church abide

Author: Thomas Benson Pollock Meter: 7.7.7.6 Appears in 103 hymnals Lyrics: 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 she one in doctrine be, One in truth and charity, Winning all to faith in Thee. 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 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 pastors duly feed, Shepherds of the flock indeed, Ready at Thy call to lead. We beseech Thee, hear us. 6 May they live the truths they know, And a holy pattern show, As before Thy flock they go. We beseech Thee, hear us. 7 May the grace of Him Who died, And the Father's love abide, And the Spirit ever guide, We beseech Thee, hear us. Amen. Used With Tune: LITANY
