Gentle, Holy Jesus
Author: Emma H. Whitfield Meter: 6.5.6.5 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Gentle, holy Jesus,
Savior meek and mild,
Thou who once wast fashioned
Like a little child;
2 And in grace and meekness
Up to manhood grew
Sharing human weakness,
Human sorrow, too:
3 In Thy word so holy,
Savior, we can see,
That of us Thou sayest,
Let them come to Me.
4 Glad we come! and render
All we have to give:
While our hearts are tender,
Help us, Lord, to live.
5 Like Thy young disciples,
That the world may see
We are taught by Jesus,
And have learned of Thee.
6 May we copy closely
Him we so much love,
Till we bear His likeness,
Perfected above. Used With Tune: NORTH COATES

Anonymous
Composer of "RHODES" in The New Canadian Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
