Representative lyrics

English (Original Language)

1. As a little child relies On a care beyond its own, Knows beneath its father’s eyes, It is never left alone,

2. So let me, a child, receive What today thou shalt provide. Calmly to thy wisdom leave What 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.
