152. THE CHILDREN’S PRAYER

Previous
Next

​Text Source:  Nuremberg, Germany, 1818​
​Composer:  Hans Georg Nägeli (1773-1836)​

1. Bow Thine ear, Gentle Jesus; bow Thine ear
    Graciously to hear my lisping,
    May, O may to Thee be pleasing
    What Thy child would ask and pray;
    Hear, Oh, hear my pray’r today.
 
2. Bless me now, Loving Jesus; bless me now!
    Do anoint me with Thy pardon;
    On life’s pathway be my guardian;
    More and more, Oh, let me be
    Joy and honor, Lord, to Thee.
 
3. Love Thou me, Heart so loving; love Thou me!
    Grant that with sweet inclination
    I love Thee without cessation
    And childlike and gentle be;
    Thereto give Thou strength to me.
 
4. Hold Thou me, Mighty Jesus; hold Thou me;
    Thou canst see my imperfections,
    All my weakness and defections
    With Thy arm, both strong and mild;
    Hold Thou me, Thy feeble child.
 
5. Comfort me, My Consoler; comfort me!
    When at Thy feet I am bowing,
    Silently my tears are flowing,
    And my troubled heart in me
    Thirsting longs for grace from Thee.
 
6. Heal Thou me In my illness; heal Thou me!
    When in times of sore affliction
    Send Thy love and pure affection
    To my poor and wounded heart;
    Heal Thou ev’ry painful smart.
 
7. Carry me, Faithful Shepherd; carry me,
    As Thy lamb in Thy compassion,
    In Thy Arms with Shepherd fashion.
    In faith I on Thee rely;
    Bear me to Thy home on high.

Special thanks to the Apostolic Christians who diligently labored to keep their rich musical heritage alive when most other denominations forsook it in the challenging battle of changing cultures.
​
Thanks be to those souls who labored to write and compose this treasure of praise, many now only known to GOD!

Above all, thanks, praise, and glory be to GOD!
