Jesu, all holy

Author: George Ratcliffe Woodward, 1848-1934 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Acts 5:31 Lyrics: 1 Jesu, all holy, gentle and lowly, snow-white lily of the vale; thou art our Master, Monarch and Pastor, Priest, Interceder, Prophet and Leader, Refuge, Defender, loving and strong: Sovran supernal, Son of th'Eternal, born of Mary-maiden, hail! Fountain of gladness, solace in sadness, more than a brother, father or mother, to thee we render tribute of song. 2 Jesu, we bless thee, worship, confess thee; shepherd of the sheep thou art: shelter, protect us, tend and direct us, strong of arm and kind of heart: shadow and moonlight turn into moonlight; soften the scorner, comfort the mourner, rule our behavior, order our way: bide with us, giving grace to the living, shrift to the dying freely supplying, be thou our Savior ever and aye.
