hear us from thy throne above;
thine for ever may we be

shield us through our earthly strife;
thou the life, the truth, the way,
guide us to the realms of day.
3 Thine for ever! O how blest
they who find in thee their rest!
Saviour, guardian, heav'nly friend,
O defend us to the end.

us thy frail and trembling sheep;
safe within thy tender care,

all our sins by thee forgiv'n,
lead us, Lord, from earth to heav'n. Topics: Protection; Year A Easter 5; Year B Easter 4 Scripture: John 10:11-16 Languages: English Tune Title: NEWINGTON
