Jesus, Who Calledst Little Ones to Thee
"Teach me Thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path" - Ps 27:11
VERSE 1
Jesus, who calledst little ones to Thee,
To Thee I come;
O take my hand in Thine, and speak to me;
And lead me home;
Lest from the path of life my feet should stray,
And Satan prowling make Thy lamb his prey.
VERSE 2
I love to think that Thou with holy feet
My path hast trod,
Along life's common lanes and dusty street
Hast walk'd with God,
On Mary's bosom drawn a baby's breath,
And serv'd Thy parents dear at Nazereth.
VERSE 3
O gentle Jesus, make this heart of mine,
So full of sin,
As holy, harmless, undefiled, as Thine
And dwell therein,
Then God my Father, I like Thee, shall know,
And grow in wisdom as in strength I grow.
VERSE 4
To Thee, my Saviour, then, with morning light
Glad songs I'll raise,
My saddest hours and darkest shall be bright.
With silent praise;
And should my work or play my thoughts employ,
Thy will shall be my law, Thy love my joy.
