Jesu, Born To Save The Lost Lyrics

1. Jesu, born to save the lost,
At the cost
Of thy life, rejected, cross'd,
Look upon us, make us lowly,
Pure as thou,
Pure as thou art, strong and holy.

2. When the balms of 'freshing sleep
Gently steep
Weary eyelids, do thou keep
Vigil o'er thy people's bowers,
Through the long,
Through the long night-season hours.

3. Good my Shepherds, thou which art
King of heart.
Never from thy flock depart.
From the wolf-dog that would rend us
Day and night,
Night and day do thou defend us.

4. God, within a manger laid
By the Maid,
Son, to thee be homage paid!
With the Father co-eternal,
Who art one
With the Holy Ghost, supernal.
