Dearest Jesus, we are here, To be in thy word instructed

Verse 1

Dearest Jesu, we are here, at thy call, thy presence owning; pleading now in holy fear that great sacrifice atoning: Word incarnate, much in wonder on this mystery deep we ponder.

Verse 2

Jesu, strong to save — the same yesterday, today, for ever — make us fear and love thy name, serving thee with best endeavour: in this life, O ne'er forsake us, but to bliss hereafter take us.
