Give me a gentle heart

1.

Give me a gentle 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 me a crown of glory

And when I shall awake

To be like Him
