Lyrics

Savior, may a lit­tle child
In its weak­ness, come to Thee?
Thou wert ev­er meek and mild;
Can my heart as gen­tle be?

Refrain

Teach me how, teach me how,
By Thy Spir­it lead me now;
So my feet will ne­ver stray
From Thy fold away.

Tho’ my years are on­ly few,
Gladly I would work for Thee;
Is there some­thing I can do?
Can I ev­er use­ful be?

Refrain

Oft I won­der when I hear
Older ones that talk of Thee;
What it is Thy yoke to bear,
Wilt Thou give it, Lord, to me?

Refrain

I will give Thee all my heart:
Wilt Thou help me come to Thee?
Kind and lov­ing as Thou art,
Savior, I would like to be.
