Hymnal and Order of Service ‎#138

138. Jesus, High in Glory

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 dost call us
To our heavenly home,
We would gladly answer,
Saviour, Lord, we come.

Amen.
