Hear Thy children’s cry.

Loose our captive chains,
Break down every idol
Which our soul detains.

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.

Jesus, meek and gentle,

Pitying, loving Saviour,
Hear Thy children’s cry.
