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.
