Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #500 (1870) Topics: Children; Likeness to God and Christ; Hymns for Sabbath-School; Youth Lyrics: 1 Gentle Jesus, meek and mild,
Look upon a little child;
Pity my simplicity,
Suffer me to come to Thee.
2 Hide me, from all evil hide,
Self, and stubbornness, and pride;
Let me live without offence;
Guard y helpless innocence.
3 Loving Jesus, gentle Lamb,
In Thy gracious hands I am;
Make me, Saviour, what Thou art;
Live Thyself within my heart.
4 I shall then show forth Thy praise;
Serve Thee all my happy days;
Then the world shall always see
Christ the holy Child in me. Languages: English
