Jesus, with Thy Church abide

Author: Thomas B. Pollock Meter: 7.7.7.6 Appears in 103 hymnals Lyrics: Jesus, with thy Church abide, Be her Savior, Lord, and Guide, While on earth her faith is tried: Keep her life and doctrine pure, Help her, patient to endure, Trusting in thy promise sure: 430 May her voice be ever clear, Warning of a judgment near, Telling of a Savior dear: All her fettered powers release, Bid our strife and envy cease, Grant the heavenly gift of peace: May she one in doctrine be, One in truth and charity, Winning all to faith in thee: May she guide the poor and blind, Seek the lost until she find, And the broken-hearted bind: Save her love from growing cold, Make her watchmen strong and bold, Fence her round, thy peaceful fold: May her priests thy people feed, Shepherds of the flock indeed, Ready, where thou call'st, to lead: Judge her not for work undone, Judge her not for fields unwon, Bless her works in thee begun: All that she has lost, restore, May her strength and zeal be more Than in brightest days of yore: 431 Raise her to her calling high, Let the nations far and nigh Hear thy heralds' warning cry: May her lamp of truth be bright, Bid her bear aloft its light Through the realms of heathen night: May her scattered children be From reproach of evil free, Blameless witnesses for thee: May she holy triumphs win, Overthrow the hosts of sin, Gather all the nations in: May she soon all glorious be, Spotless and from wrinkle free, Pure, and bright, and worthy thee. We beseech thee, hear us. Amen. Topics: Litany of the Church Used With Tune: LITANY OF THE PASSION

By the gracious saving call

Author: Thomas B. Pollock Meter: 7.7.7.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 10 By the gracious saving call, Spoken tenderly to all Who have shared in Adam's fall: We beseech Thee, hear us. 11 By the nature Jesus wore, By the stripes and death He bore, By His life for evermore: We beseech Thee, hear us. 12 By the love that longs to bless, Pitying our sore distress, Leading us to holiness: We beseech Thee, hear us. 13 By the love so calm and strong, Patient still to suffer wrong And our day of grace prolong: We beseech Thee, hear us. 14 By the love that speaks within, Calling us to flee from sin, And the joy of goodness win: We beseech Thee, hear us. 15 By the love that bids Thee spare, By the heaven Thou dost prepare, By Thy promises to prayer: We beseech Thee, hear us. Amen. Topics: Ash Wednesday and Lent Used With Tune: LITANY OF THE PASSION
