I

O Jesus, to Thy servants give

The consolation they require;

And when the cloud of trouble falls,

With heavenly hope their souls inspire.

Be ever near us, Christ, to bless

And help us in Thy faithfulness.

II

As Thou wert with Thy saints of old,

Be with us, ever present, Lord;

Unite us to Thyself, we pray,

As Thou hast promised by Thy word;

Then we shall glorify and laud

The Holy Spirit sent by God.
