Lord, look upon a little child,
By nature sinful, rude and wild;
Oh!  Put Thy gracious hands on me,
And make me all I ought to be.

Make me Thy child, a child of God,
Washed in my Saviour’s precious blood;
And my whole heart from sin set free,
A little vessel full of Thee.

A star of early dawn, and bright,
Shining within Thy sacred light;
A beam of light to all around,
A little spot of hallowed ground.

Dear Jesus, take me to Thy breast,
And bless me that I may be blest;
Both when I wake and when I sleep,
Thy little lamb in safety keep.
