1 Gentle Saviour, bend thine ear,
Hear our pray'r, hear our pray'r;
Thou art always very near,
Keep us in thy care.

Chorus:
May we nestle by thy side,
Happy in thy love abide;
Guide us, tender Shepherd, guide,
To thy pastures fair.

2 Gentle Saviour, we have strayed
From thy way, from thy way,
Thy kind voice have disobeyed,
Pardon us to-day. [Chorus]

3 Gentle Saviour, thou didst die
"Once for all," "once for all,"
Thou art living now on high,
Hear the children call. [Chorus]
