Through this chang­ing world be­low,
How mild­ly beam the clos­ing eyes,
Suffer the child­ren to come to Me;
O, what com­pas­sion beams in His eye,
When the heart for­gets its care,
Jubilate, ju­bi­la­te,

gent­ly

Lead me gent­ly home,
To rule by love than fear;
Speak on­ly words of love;
Speak on­ly words of love;
Looking un­to Jesus, ban­ish ev­ery fear,
Lead me home, O Fa­ther,
We yet may lead them back,
Sleep gent­ly sleep.
Gently come and go;
Trusting Thee, I can­not stray,
So fades a sum­mer cloud away;
Suffer the child­ren to come.
Come to thy Sav­ior, O, why wilt thou die?
Brings the joy of an­swered pray­er;
Jubilate, Je­sus Christ for­ev­er­more is king,
Music en­chant­ing com­eth to me;
And gent­ly wound His ear.
Thro’ the rug­ged paths of life;
Tints the sky with gold­en rays,
Seem gent­ly waft­ed o’er.
