Jesus, Good Above All Other

Jesus

good ab­ove all oth­er

Gentle child of gen­tle mo­ther

In a sta­ble born our bro­ther

Give us grace to per­sev­ere.

Jesus

cra­dled in a man­ger

For us fac­ing ev­ery dan­ger

Living as a home­less strang­er

Make we Thee our king most dear.

Jesus

for Thy peo­ple dy­ing

Risen Mas­ter

death de­fy­ing

Lord in Heav’n

Thy grace sup­ply­ing

Keep us by Thine al­tar near.

Jesus

who our sor­rows bear­est

All our thoughts and hopes Thou shar­est

Thou to man the truth de­clar­est;

Help us all Thy truth to hear.

Lord

in all our do­ings guide us;

Pride and hate shall ne’er di­vide us;

We’ll go on with Thee be­side us

And with joy we’ll per­sev­ere!
