Lyrics

Jesus, gen­tle Sav­ior,
Loving child­ren small,
In Thy ten­der mer­cy
Hear us when we call.

We would be, dear Sav­ior,
More like Thee each day;
Keep our feet from stray­ing,
Lead us in Thy way.

May we be to oth­ers
Gentle, true and kind,
Helping oth­er child­ren
Our dear Lord to find.

In what­e’er we’re do­ing,
May we be like Thee;
Then at last, dear Sav­ior,
We Thy face shall see.
