Quiet, Lord, my froward heart ; Make me teachable and mild, Upright, simple, free from art ; Make me as a little child---- From distrust and envy free, Pleased with all that pleases Thee.
2. What Thou shalt to-day provide, Let me as a child receive ; What to-morrow may betide, Calmly to Thy wisdom leave : âTis enough that Thou wilt care---- Why should I the burden bear ?
3. As a little child relies On a care beyond his own, Knows he's neither strong nor wise, Fears to stir a step alone----- Let me thus with Thee abide, As my Father, Guard, and Guide !
