German, 14th century
Translated: Percy Dearmer
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 thee 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 thy 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!
