BLESSED JESUS, HERE WE STAND

[1]
Blessed Jesus, here we stand,
met to do as thou hast spoken;
and this child, at thy command,
now we bring to thee in token
that to Christ he* here is given,
for of such shall be his heaven.

[2]
Make him*, Lord, thy member now;
Shepherd, take thy lamb and feed him*;
Prince of Peace, his* peace be thou;
Way of life, to heaven O lead him*;
Vine, this branch may nothing sever,
grafted firm in thee forever.

[3]
Now upon thy heart he* lies,
whom our hearts so dearly treasure;
grant to thee our prayers may rise,
pour thy blessing without measure;
write the name we now have given,
write it in the book of heaven.
*Sing 'she' or 'her' where appropriate.
