1 Jesus, gentle Saviour,
Hear our earnest prayer:
Make these little children
All Thy constant care;
Softly shine upon us,
With Thy smile of love;
Lead us on our journey
To Thy home above.

Refrain:
Lead us, lead us,
Lead us, gentle Saviour,
Lead us on our journey
To Thy home above.

2 We are very happy,
All the world is fair;
Seldom do we sorrow,
Seldon have a care;
Yet we would be joyous,
Did we only know,
That, when life is ended,
We to Thee should go. [Refrain]

3 Dear and blessed Saviour,
Hold our little hands;
Lead us in Thy footsteps,
Heeding Thy commands;
So shall we in gladness
Spend our earthly days,
Till Thy voice shall call us
Home to sing Thy praise. [Refrain]
