Lord Jesus, Let Thy Watchful Care

Lord Je­sus

let Thy watch­ful care

Thy faith­ful love

our breth­ren tend;

Their hearts sus­tain

their way pre­pare

And safe­ly guide them to the end.

Be with them on the stor­my deep;

Be with them in the si­lent hour;

By sea or land

awake

asleep

Be Thou their help­er

strength

and tow­er.

Maintain them through their earth­ly strife

So run­ning as to win the race;

Each hold­ing forth the word of life

A light to light­en fu­ture days.

Go

breth­ren

go! with cheer­ful voice

We bid you go—a bless­èd leav’n—

Go

win the coun­try of your choice

For truth

and li­ber­ty

and Heav’n.
