Lord Je­sus, God and man,
For love of man a child,
The ve­ry God, yet born on earth
Of Ma­ry un­de­filed.

Lord Je­sus, God and man,
In this our fes­tal day
To Thee for pre­cious gifts of grace
Thy ran­somed people pray.

We pray for child­like hearts,
For gen­tle, holy love,
For strength to do Thy will be­low
As an­gels do above.

We pray for sim­ple faith,
For hope that ne­ver fails,
For true com­mun­ion ev­er­more
With all Thy bless­èd saints.

On friends around us here
O let Thy bless­ing fall;
We pray for grace to love them well,
But Thee be­yond them all.

O joy to live for Thee!
O joy in Thee to die!
O ve­ry joy of joys to see
Thy face eter­nal­ly!

Lord Je­sus, God and man,
We praise Thee and adore,
Who art with God the Fa­ther One,
And Spir­it ev­er­more.
