JESUS, good above all other,
Gentle child of gentle mother,
In a stable born our brother,
Give us grace to persevere.
2 Jesus, cradled in a manger,
For us facing every danger,
Living as a homeless stranger,
Make we thee our King most dear.
3 Jesus, for thy people dying,
Risen Master, death defying,
Lord in Heaven, thy grace supplying,
Keep us to thy presence near.
4 Jesus, who our sorrows bearest,
All our thoughts and hopes thou sharest;
Thou to man the truth declarest;
Help us all thy truth to hear.
5 Lord, in all our doings guide us;
Pride and hate shall ne?er divide us;
We?ll go on with thee beside us,
And with joy we?ll persevere.
Gentle child of gentle mother,
In a stable born our brother,
Give us grace to persevere.

For us facing every danger,
Living as a homeless stranger,
Make we thee our King most dear.

Pride and hate shall ne?er divide us;
We?ll go on with thee beside us,
And with joy we?ll persevere.
