The Hymnal Of The Protestant Episcopal Church In The Usa

6.5.6.5

[1377]St. Constantine:

William Henry Monk, 1861

George R. Prynne, 1865

Jesus, meek and gentle,

Son of God most high,

Pitying, loving Savior,

Hear thy children's cry.

Pardon our offenses,

Loose our captive chains,

Break down 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.

Jesus, meek and gentle,

Son of God most high,

Pitying, loving Savior,

Hear thy children's cry.

Amen.
