Jesus, thou divine Companion, help us all to work our best; bless us in our daily labor, lead us to our Sabbath rest. Topics: Christian Responsibility Used With Tune: PLEADING SAVIOR

All my trust on thee is stayed; all my help from thee I bring; cover my defenseless head with the shadow of thy wing. 3 Plenteous grace with thee is found, grace to cleanse from every sin; let the healing streams abound, make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art, freely let me take of thee: spring thou up within my heart, rise to all eternity. Topics: The Christian Life Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH
