Representative Text

1 Jesus, high in glory,
lend a listening ear;
when we bow before thee,
children's praises hear.

2 Though Thou art so holy,
heaven's almighty King,
thou wilt stoop to listen
when thy praise we sing.

3 We are little children,
weak and apt to stray;
Saviour, guide and keep us
in the heavenly way.

4 Save us, Lord, from sinning;
watch us day by day;
help us now to love thee;
take our sins away.

5 Then, when thou shalt call us
to our heavenly home,
we will gladly answer:
Saviour, Lord, we come!

McKeever, Harriet Burn, b. at Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 28, 1807, and d. at Chester, in the same State, Feb. 7, 1887. She was engaged in educational work in Philadelphia for many years, and was associated with St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in that city. Her hymns, written in some instances for use in St. Andrew's, were collected and published as Twilight Musings, in 1857. From this volume we find that "Jesus, high in glory," p. 1574, ii., was written by Miss McKeever. [Rev. John Brownlie] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907)  Go to person page >
