Author: Thomas B. Pollock Meter: 7.7.7.6 Appears in 103 hymnals Lyrics: 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,
Help her, patient to endure,
Trusting in Thy promise sure:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
3 All her fetter'd pow'rs release,
Bid our strife and envy cease,
Grant the heav'nly gift of peace:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
4 May she one in doctrine be,
One in truth and charity,
Winning all to faith in Thee:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
Amen. Topics: Church, The Fellowship and Unity Scripture: Acts 20:28 Used With Tune: LITANY OF THE PASSION
Jesus, with Thy Church Abide
