OUR EVER PRESENT GUIDE, by                    
First Line: "jesus, the lord of glory died"
Last Line: "beloved, obey'd, adored"
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


Jesus, the Lord of glory, died,
That we might never die;
And now He reigns supreme, to guide
His people to the sky.

Weak though we are, He still is near,
To lead, console, defend;
In all our sorrow, all our fear,
Our all-sufficient Friend.

From His high throne in bliss, He deigns
Our every prayer to heed;
Bears with our folly, soothes our pains,
Supplies our every need.

And from His love's exhaustless spring,
Joys like a river come,
To make the desert bloom and sing,
O'er which we travel home.

O Jesus, there is none like Thee,
Our Saviour and our Lord;
Through earth and heaven exalted be,
Beloved, obey'd, adored.
