Gentle

...But to Thee my heart is cry­ing,

Save me now! save me now!...

...start

Son of God most High,...

...And He lives for aye.

Strong to cleave the sod,...

...start

There He lay, the un­de­filed, to the world a strang­er:...

...Kind and lov­ing to each oth­er,

Thus we fol­low Christ our Sav­ior,...

...start

Once Thou wert a lit­tle child,...

...Virgin, all ex­cell­ing,

Pardoned sin­ners ren­der...

...Safe in the arms of Jesus,

There by His love o’ershaded,...

...start

Ride three princ­es great in might,...

...O tell me, gen­tle shep­herd,

O tell me what the an­gels sang...

...start

As we from each oth­er part;...

...The rush­ing of the migh­ty wind,

Forever lend Thy sov­er­eign aid,...

...May we be to oth­ers

Helping oth­er child­ren...

...No more their wounds re­peat;

Attentive at Thy feet....

...Thou, of the world the Mer­cy Seat,

Set all our hearts aglow­ing....

...O to be like Him, ten­der and kind,

More like to Je­sus day af­ter day,...

...Lowly in mind and spir­it,

Oh, to be Kept for Je­sus!...

...Spirit of ho­li­ness,

Indwelling Light!...

...A lit­tle ho­ly child;

And Je­sus was His name....

...Teach my tongue a word to speak,

Make me like a beam of light...
