Hither our children bring
To shout Thy praise.

Thou art our holy Lord
The all-subduing Word
Healer of strife;
Thou didst Thyself abase
That from sin s deep disgrace
Thou mightest save our race
And give us life.

Thou art the great High Priest;
Thou hast prepared the feast
Of heavenly love;
While in our mortal pain
None calls on Thee in vain;
Help Thou dost not disdain
Help from above.

Ever be Thou our Guide
Our Shepherd and our pride
Our staff and song;

By Thy perennial word
Lead us where Thou hast trod
Make our faith strong.
