1403. Gently, Gently, Kneel And Pray

1 Gently, gently kneel and pray, gently come and go;
Jesus Christ is watching us, He would have it so.

Refrain:
Gently, gently shine the stars, gently grow the flowers,
Gently smiles the love of God, and His love is ours!

2 Kindly, kindly speak to all, at our work or play;
Jesus Christ can always hear every word we say. [Refrain]

3 Dearly, dearly let us love every one we know—
Brothers, sisters, friends we are—Jesus makes us so. [Refrain]

4 Sweetly, sweetly sing the praise of our glorious king,
With our hearts and with our voice; Jesus hears us sing. [Refrain]
