Tune: | ST FULBERT |
Composer: | Henry John Gauntlett, 1805-1876 |
1 O Jesus, strong and pure and true,
before Your feet we bow;
the grace of earlier years renew,
and lead us onward now.
2 The joyous life that year by year
within these walls is stored,
the golden hope, the gladsome cheer,
we bring to You, O Lord.
3 Our faith endow with keener powers,
with warmer glow our love,
and draw these faltering hearts of ours
from earth to heaven above.
4 In paths our bravest ones have trod
O make us strong to go,
that we may give our lives to God
in serving all below.
5 Scorn we the selfish aim or choice,
and love's high precept keep:
'Rejoice with those that do rejoice
and weep with them that weep.'
6 So hence shall flow fresh strength and grace,
as from a full-fed spring,
to make the world a better place,
and life a worthier thing.
