Lyrics

Lamb of God, I look to Thee;
Thou shalt my ex­am­ple be;
Thou art gen­tle, meek, and mild;
Thou wast once a lit­tle child.

Lord, I would be as Thou art;
Give me Thine obe­di­ent heart;
Thou art pi­ti­ful and kind,
Let me have Thy lov­ing mind.

Let me, above all, ful­fill
God my heav’n­ly Fa­ther’s will;
Never His good Spi­rit grieve;
Only to His glo­ry live.
