HYMN 148.

Gentle Jesus, meek and mild,
Look upon a little child;
Pity my simplicity,
Suffer me to come to Thee.

Fain I would to Thee be brought;
Gracious God, forbid it not;
Give me, O my God, a place
In the Kingdom of Thy Grace.

Fain I would be as Thou art;
Give me Thy obedient heart;
Thou art pitiful and kind,
Let me have Thy loving mind.

Let me above all fulfil
God my heav'nly Father's will;
Never His good spirit grieve,
Only to His glory live.
