Jesus Christ Our Savior (Whiting)

Jesus Christ our Sav­ior

Once for us a child

In Thy whole be­hav­ior

Meek

obe­dient

mild;

In Thy foot­steps tread­ing

We Thy lambs will be

Foe nor dan­ger dread­ing

While we fol­low Thee.

For all Thou be­stow­est

All Thou dost with­hold;

Whatsoe’er Thou know­est

Best for us

Thy fold;

For all gifts and grac­es

While we live below

Till in heav’n­ly plac­es

We Thy face shall know.

We

Thy child­ren

rais­ing

Unto Thee our hearts

In Thy con­stant prais­ing

Bear our du­te­ous parts.

As Thy love hath won us

From the world away

Still Thy hands put on us;

Bless us day by day.

Let Thine an­gels guide us;

Let Thine arms en­fold;

In Thy bo­som hide us

Sheltered from the cold;

To Thy­self us ga­ther

’Mid the ran­somed host

Praising Thee

the Fa­ther

And the Ho­ly Ghost.
