Blessèd Jesus, Here We Stand

Blessèd Je­sus! here we stand

Met to do as Thou hast spok­en;

And this child

at Thy com­mand

Now we bring to Thee

in to­ken

That to Christ it here is giv­en;

For of such shall be his heav­en.

Yes! Thy warn­ing voice is plain

And we fain would keep it du­ly:

He who is not born again

Heart and life re­new­ing tru­ly

Born of wa­ter and the Spir­it

Will God’s king­dom ne’er in­her­it.

Make it

Head

Thy mem­ber now;

Shepherd

take Thy lamb and feed it;

Prince of Peace

its peace be Thou;

Way of Life

to Heav­en

O lead it:

Vine

this branch may no­thing sev­er

Grafted firm in Thee for ev­er.

Now up­on Thy heart it lies

What our hearts so dear­ly trea­sure;

Heavenward lead our bur­dened sighs

Pour Thy bless­ing without mea­sure;

Write the name we now have giv­en

Write it in the book of Heav­en.
