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!

Kindly, kind­ly speak to all,
At our work or play;
Jesus Christ can al­ways hear
Every word we say.

Refrain

Dearly, dear­ly let us love
Every one we know—
Brothers, sis­ters, friends we are—
Jesus makes us so.

Refrain

Sweetly, sweet­ly sing the praise
Of our glo­ri­ous king,
With our hearts and with our voice;
Jesus hears us sing.
