Jesus, with Thy Church Abide - Warhorn Songbook

“That they may be one even as We are one, I in them and You in Me…that the world may know that You sent Me.” | John 17:22,23

Lyrics by Thomas Pollock, alt. Hymns Ancient and Modern
Music by Jody Killingsworth

Jesus, with Thy Church abide;

Be her Savior, Lord, and Guide,

While on earth her faith is tried:

O, we beseech Thee, hear us.

May her voice be ever clear,

Warning of a judgment near,

Telling of a Savior dear:

O, we beseech Thee, hear us.

Keep her life and doctrine pure,

Help her, patient, to endure,

Trusting in Thy promise sure:

O, we beseech Thee, hear us.

May she guide the poor and blind,

Seek the lost until she find,

And the broken hearted bind:

O, we beseech Thee, hear us.

May her lamp of truth be bright,

Bid her bear aloft its light

Through the realms of heathen night:

O, we beseech Thee, hear us.

Arm her soldiers with the cross,

Brave to suffer toil or loss,

Counting earthly gain but dross:

O, we beseech Thee, hear us.

May she holy triumphs win,

Overthrow the hosts of sin,

Gather all the nations in:

O, we beseech Thee, hear us.
