The Jewel ‎#61

61. Dear Jesus, Hear Me

1 Saviour, bless a little child;
Teach my heart the way to Thee;
Make it gentle, good and mild;
Loving Saviour, care for me.

Chorus:
Dear Jesus, hear me,
Hear thy little child today;
Hear, O hear me;
Hear me when I pray.

2 I am young, but Thou hast said--
All who will may come to Thee;
Feed my soul with living Bread;
Loving Saviour, care for me. [Chorus]

3 Jesus help me, I am weak;
Let me put my trust in Thee;
Teach me how, and what to speak;
Loving Saviour, care for me. [Chorus]

4 I would never go astray,
Never turn aside from Thee;
Keep me in the heavenly way;
Loving Saviour, care for me. [Chorus]
