Representative Text

1 Holy Jesus, in whose Name
Thou hast bid Thy servants claim
Of the Father's love, to grant
All the good they wish or want:
Trusting in Thy Name alone,
Draw we near Thy Father's throne.

2 Son of Man, to whom is given,
With the Majesty of Heaven,
Partner Thou of man's estate,
For mankind to mediate:
Hear us, when with Thee we plead
For Thy flock to intercede!

3 Saviour of the world, to Thee
Ever bows the Church her knee:
Thee, her only Advocate;
Thee, exalted to Thy state,
With the Holy Ghost, most high
In the Father's majesty.

Notes

Holy Jesus, in Whose [Thy] Name. Bp. R. Mant. [Prayer in the Name of Jesus.] Appeared as one of his original hymns appended to his Ancient Hymns, &c, 1837, p. 100, in 5 stanzas of 6 lines, as a "Hymn commemorative of Prayer in, and to Christ" (edition 1871, p. 183). It is sometimes given as "Holy Jesus, in Thy Name." In the Cooke & Denton Hymnal, 1853, stanza ii. is omitted, several alterations are made, and a doxology by the editors is added. This form, with further changes, is repeated in Kennedy, 1863.
