Gentle Jesus, meek and mild, Look upon a little child ; Pity my simplicity, Suffer me to come to Thee.
2. Fain I would to Thee be brought; Blessed Lord, forbid it not ; In the Kingdom of Thy grace Give a little child a place.
3. Lamb of God, I look to Thee ; Thou shalt my example be ; Thou art gentle, meek, and mild ; Thou wast once a little child.
4. Fain I would be as Thou art ; Give me Thy obedient heart ; Thou art pitiful and kind, Let me have Thy loving mind.
5. Loving Jesus, gentle Lamb, In Thy gracious hands I am ; Make me, Saviour, what Thou art, Live Thyself within my heart.
