Gentle Jesu, meek and mild,

Look upon a little child;

Pity my simplicity,

Suffer me to come to thee.

Fain I would to thee be brought;

Dearest Lord, forbid it not;

Give me, dearest Lord, a place

In the kingdom of thy grace.

Lamb of God, I look to thee;

Thou shalt my example be;

Thou are gentle, meek and mild,

Thou wast once a little child.

Loving Jesu, gentle Lamb,

In thy gracious hands I am;

Make me, Saviour, what thou art,

Live thyself within my heart.
