{
Dearest Jesu We are Here
LIEBSTER JESU-Johann Rudolph Ahle
Dearest Jesu, We are Here
}
Dearest Jesu, we are here,
At Thy call, Thy Presence owning;
Pleading now in holy fear
That great Sacrifice atoning:
Word Incarnate, much in wonder
On this myst'ry deep we ponder.
Jesu, strong to save-the same
Yesterday, to-day, for ever-
Make us fear and love Thy Name,
Serving Thee with best endeavour:
In this life, O ne'er forsake us,
But to bliss hereafter take us.
