540. Gentle Jesus Meek and Mild

Gentle Jesus, meek and mild,
Look upon a little child;
Pity my simplicity,
Suffer me to come to Thee

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

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

I shall then show forth Thy praise,
Serve Thee all my happy days;
Then the world shall always see
Christ, the Holy Child in me.
