The Book of Praise.
CCLXXXVIII.
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 !
Meek and lowly may I be ; Thou art all humility ! Let me to my betters bow ; Subject to Thy parents Thou.
Let me above all fulfil God my heavenly Father's will; Never His good Spirit grieve; Only to His glory live !
Thou didst live to God alone ; Thou didst never seek Thine own ; Thou Thyself didst never please ; God was all Thy happiness.
Loving Jesu, gentle Lamb, In Thy gracious hands I am ; Make me, Saviour,, what Thou art! Live Thyself within my heart!
I shall then shew forth Thy praise ; Serve Thee all my happy days ; Then the world shall always see Christ, the Holy Child, in me.
Charles Wesley. 1740. |
