Jesu, Whom Thy children love by Henry Elliot Button — Lyrics
1. Jesu, Whom Thy children love,
Hear us, Lord, from heaven above,
On our knees, to Thee, we pray,
Keep and guide us night and day.
2. Guide our feet the narrow way,
Guide our thoughts lest they may stray,
Guard our tongues from ev'ry ill,
Teach us, Lord, to know thy will.

About Jesu, Whom Thy children love
This is a moving English anthem for solo soprano, expressing deep devotion and supplication to Jesus. The text paints a picture of believers kneeling in prayer, seeking divine guidance for their daily lives, their thoughts, and their speech. It conveys a longing to follow the narrow path, to understand God's will, and to bear the burdens of faith with the hope of heavenly reward alongside the infant martyrs. The anthem concludes with a fervent declaration of praise to Jesus as Saviour, Shepherd, and King, echoing the adoration sung day by day and forevermore.
