Gentle Jesus, meek and mild

by Charles Wesley (1707–1788)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 540.

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

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

Verse 3

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

Verse 4

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.
