1. As a little child reliesOn a care beyond its own,Knows beneath its father’s eyes,It is never left alone,
2. So let me, a child, receiveWhat today thou shalt provide.Calmly to thy wisdom leaveWhat tomorrow may betide.
3. Quiet Lord, my froward heart,Make me loving meek, and mild,Upright, simple, free from art,Make me as a little child.
