Jesus, meek and gentle
Meter: 6.5.6.5.
Scripture: John 8:32
1
Jesus, meek and gentle,
Son of God most High
Pitying, loving Saviour,
Hear Thy children’s cry.
2
Pardon our offences,
Loose our captive chains,
Break down every idol
Which our soul detains.
3
Give us holy freedom
Fill our hearts with love;
Draw us, holy Jesus,
To the realms above.
4
Lead us on our journey,
Be Thyself the way
Through terrestrial darkness
To celestial day.
5
Jesus, meek and gentle
Son of God most high
Pitying, loving Saviour,
Hear Thy children’s cry.
