Jesus, good above all other

Jesus, good above all other,
gentle child of gentle mother,
in a stable born our brother
give us grace to persevere

Jesus cradled in a manger
for us facing every danger
living as a homeless stranger
make we the our king most dear

Jesus, who our sorrows bearest
all our thoughts and hopes thou sharest
thou to man the truth declarest
help us all the truth to hear

Lord in all our doings guide us
Pride and hate shall ne'er divide us
We'll go on with thee beside us
And with joy we'll persevere
