Lyrics

Savior, bless a little child;
Teach my heart the way to Thee;
Make it gentle, good and mild;
Loving Sav­ior, care for me.

Refrain

Hear me, O Sav­ior,
Hear Thy little child today;
Hear, O hear me;
Hear me when I pray.

I am young, but Thou hast said—
All who will, may come to Thee;
Feed my soul with living bread;
Loving Sav­ior, care for me.

Refrain

Jesus, help me, I am weak;
Let me put my trust in Thee;
Teach me how and what to speak;
Loving Sav­ior, care for me.
