The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#178e

178e. Gentle Jesus, meek and mild

1 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
Gracious God, forbid it not:
In the kingdom of thy grace
Give a little child a place.

3 Oh, supply my every want,
Feed the young and tender plant;
Day and night my keeper is,
Every moment watch round me.
