1. Jesus, with Thy church abide, 

Thou her Savior, Lord and guide, 

while on earth her faith is tried; 

we beseech Thee, hear us.  

Keep her life and doctrine pure; 

grant her patience to endure, 

trusting in Thy promise sure; 

we beseech Thee, hear us.

2. Save her love from growing cold, 

make her watchmen strong and bold; 

fence her round, Thy peaceful fold; 

we beseech Thee, hear us.

May her lamp of truth be bright;

bid her bear aloft her light 

far in realms of alien night; 

we beseech Thee, hear us.

foes without and foes within, 

by Thy help her triumph win; 

we beseech Thee, hear us.

Then shall she allglorious be, 

from the stain of guilt set free,

evermore to live with Thee;

we beseech Thee, hear us.
