Jesus, the Lord of glory, diedThat we might never die;And now he reigns supreme, to guideHis people to the sky.

2

Weak though we are, he still is near,To lead, console, defend;In all our sorrow, all our fear,Our all-sufficient Friend.

3

From his high throne of grace he deignsOur every prayer to heed;Bears with our folly, soothes our pains,Supplies our every need.

About this hymn

As printed Words only. As printed: hymn number «353» (large) in the right column of p. 116, under «L. D. Santee.» of hymn 352, with the italic reference line «227, 354.» (= sing to the tunes of hymns 227 or 354) beside the number; three stanzas in the right column, numbered «1»–«3» (no period); «Baptist W. Noel.» in italics after stanza 3 (the «l» of «Noel» is broken in this exemplar and reads like «Noei.»). The first word «JESUS» is set in capitals and small capitals. Lines 2 and 4 of each stanza are indented in the print. The print sets a thin space before «;» («die ;», «defend ;», «heed ;»); it is closed up here. No meter is printed (the text is C. M., like the tunes referred to). Spelling, punctuation and capitals are the print's.
