Meter 7.7.7.7 Orin Omode
  1. Gentle Jesus, meek and mild,
    Look upon a little child;
    Pity my simplicity,
    Suffer me to come to Thee.

  2. Lamb of God, I look to Thee;
    Thou shalt my example be:
    Thou art gentle, meek and mild;
    Thou wast once a little child.

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

  4. Loving Jesus, gentle Lamb,
    In Thy gracious hands I am;
    Make me, Saviour, what Thou art,
    Live Thyself within my heart. Amen.
