Blest Jesus, Grant Us Strength

Verse 1

Blest Jesus, grant us strength to take Our daily cross, whate’er it be, And gladly, for Thine own dear sake, In paths of duty follow Thee.

Verse 2

And day by day, we humbly ask That holy mem’ries of Thy cross May sanctify each common task, And turn to gain each earthly loss.

Verse 3

Help us, dear Lord, our cross to bear, Till at Thy feet we lay it down; Win thro’ Thy blood our pardon there, And thro’ the Cross attain the Crown.
