Jesus Christ our Sav­ior,
Once for us a child,
In Thy whole be­hav­ior
Meek, obe­dient, mild;
In Thy foot­steps tread­ing
We Thy lambs will be,
Foe nor dan­ger dread­ing
While we fol­low Thee.

For all Thou be­stow­est,
All Thou dost with­hold;
Whatsoe’er Thou know­est
Best for us, Thy fold;
For all gifts and grac­es
While we live below,
Till in heav’n­ly plac­es
We Thy face shall know.

We, Thy child­ren, rais­ing
Unto Thee our hearts,
In Thy con­stant prais­ing
Bear our du­te­ous parts.
As Thy love hath won us,
From the world away,
Still Thy hands put on us;
Bless us day by day.

Let Thine an­gels guide us;
Let Thine arms en­fold;
In Thy bo­som hide us,
Sheltered from the cold;
To Thy­self us ga­ther,
’Mid the ran­somed host,
Praising Thee, the Fa­ther,
And the Ho­ly Ghost.
