Gentle Jesus, meek and mild,

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.

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.

Loving Jesus, gentle Lamb,

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.
