 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 are 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.
