Children’s Prayer (Crosby)

Gentle Sav­ior

God of love

Hear us from Thy throne ab­ove

While we meet to praise Thee here

In our In­fant class so dear.

May the les­sons we have heard

From Thy pure and ho­ly word

Make us what we ought to be

Lead Thy lit­tle lambs to Thee.

Jesus

Thou wert once a child

Make us hum­ble

meek and mild.

Kindly fold us on Thy breast

There Thy lit­tle lambs would rest.

In that hap­py world of light

Where the day is ev­er bright.

May our an­gel voic­es sing

Glory! glo­ry! to our king!
