HYMN: Give me a gently heart | Fun mi n’iwa pele

ENGLISH LYRICS: Give me a gently heart

And the Lord went before them. Ex. 13:21

1.  Give me a gently heart
    Fill'd with meekness,
    Diligent heart like Thine
    Jesus, my Lord
    Humbleness and patience
    A heart of compassion
    In every small detail
    To be like Him.

2. Give me contentment in
    All conditions
    Be it e'en humbler than
    His lowly birth
    Give me Thou Thy comfort
    Give me also Thy help
    In every small detail
    To be like Him.

3. Give me enthusiasm
    In things of Thine
    Earnestness and more love
    For things of heav'n
    Give me a holy heart
    Give me hatred for sin
    In every small detail
    To be like Him.

4. Give me a heart of faith
    A hope in Thee
    Give joy of salvation
    In Jesus Christ
    Give me a living soul
    Give a crown of glory
    And when I shall awake
    To be like Him.

Amen.
