RCCG Hymn 705
Jesus, Who Calledst Little Ones to Thee
"Teach me Thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path" - Ps 27:11
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.
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.
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.
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.
