| Text: | Gently, gently kneel and pray |
| Tune: | [Gently, gently kneel and pray] |
| Composer: | J. I. T. |
1 Gently, gently kneel and pray,
Gently come and go;
Jesus Christ is watching us,
He would have it so.
Refrain:
Gently, gently shine the stars,
Gently grow the flowers,
Gently smiles the love of God,
And His love is ours!
2 Kindly, kindly speak to all,
At our work or play;
Jesus Christ can always hear
Every word we say. [Refrain]
3 Dearly, dearly let us love
Every one we know—
Brothers, sisters, friends we are—
Jesus makes us so. [Refrain]
4 Sweetly, sweetly sing the praise
Of our glorious King,
With our hearts and with our voice;
Jesus hears us sing. [Refrain]
