339. Jesu, meek and gentle

Jesu, meek and gentle,

Son of God most high,

Pitying, loving Saviour,

Hear Thy children's cry.-

Pardon our offences,

Loose our captive chains,

Break clown every idol

Which our soul detains.

Give us holy freedom,

Fill our hearts with love;

Draw us, Holy Jesus!

To the realms above.

Lead us on our journey,

Be Thyself the Way

Through terrestrial darkness -

To celestial day.

Jesu, meek and gentle,

Son of God most high,

Pitying, loving Saviour,

Hear Thy children's cry.
