Hymn

ENGLISH LYRICS: Jesus, meek and gentle

"And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32

1.  Jesus, meek and gentle,
    Son of God most High
    Pitying, loving Saviour,
    Hear Thy children's cry.

2. Pardon our offences,
    Loose our captive chains,
    Break down every idol
    Which our soul detains.

3. Give us holy freedom
    Fill our hearts with love;
    Draw us, holy Jesus,
    To the realms above.

4. Lead us on our journey,
    Be Thyself the way
    Through terrestrial darkness
    To celestial day.

5. Jesus, meek and gently
    Son of God most High;
    Pitying, loving Saviour,
    Hear Thy children's cry.

Amen.
