Hymn
Jesus High in Glory
Jesus, high in glory,
Lend a list'ning ear;
When we bow before Thee,
Children's praises hear.
Though Thou art so holy,
Heaven'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 heavenly way.
Save us, Lord, from sinning;
Watch us day by day;
Help us now to love Thee;
Take our sins away.
Then, when Thou dost call us
To our heavenly home,
We shall gladly answer,
Savior, Lord, we come.
