Hymn 545:
Gentle Jesus, meek and mild,
look upon a little child;
pity my simplicity,
suffer me to come to thee.
look upon a little child;
pity my simplicity,
suffer me to come to thee.
Fain I would to thee be brought,
Blessed God, forbid it not
In the Kingdom of Thy grace
Give a little child a place.
Fain I would be as thou art;
give me thine obedient heart;
thou art pitiful and kind,
let me have thy loving mind.
give me thine obedient heart;
thou art pitiful and kind,
let me have thy loving mind.
Above all O Jesus Christ
Let me do my Father’s will
Not to frustrate the spirit
And Thy glory to be shown.
Lamb of God, I look to thee
thou shalt my example be
thou art gentle, meek, and mild
thou wast once a little child.
thou shalt my example be
thou art gentle, meek, and mild
thou wast once a little child.
Loving Jesus, gentle Lamb,
in thy gracious hands I am;
make me, Saviour, what thou art,
live thyself within my heart.
in thy gracious hands I am;
make me, Saviour, what thou art,
live thyself within my heart.
Thy praise, O Lord will I show
I will serve Thee all my days
The world shall see Jesus Christ
Father’s holy Son in me.
