Jesus, High in Glory

lyricist: Harriet McKeever, 1847
Composer: Timothy Matthews, 1862

Jesus

high in glo­ry

Lend a list­en­ing ear;

When we bow be­fore Thee

Children’s prais­es hear.

Though Thou art so ho­ly

Heav’n’s al­migh­ty king

Thou wilt stoop to list­en

When Thy praise we sing.

We are lit­tle child­ren

Weak and apt to stray;

Savior

guide and keep us

In the heav’n­ly way.

Save us

Lord

from sin­ning;

Watch us day by day;

Help us now to love Thee;

Take our sins away.

Strengthen us for du­ty

While on earth we live;

May we to Thy serv­ice

Our best tal­ents give.

Then when Je­sus calls us

To our heav’n­ly home

We will glad­ly an­swer

Sav­ior

Lord

we come.
