Jesu, meek and gentle,
Son of God most high,
Pitying, loving Saviour,
Hear thy children's cry.

Pardon our offences,
Loose our captive chains,
Break our every idol
Which our soul detains.

Give us holy freedom,
Fill our hearts with love,
Draw us, holy Jesus,
To the realms above.

Lead us on our journey,
Be thyself the Way
Through terrestrial darkness
To celestial day.

Jesu, meek and gentle,
Son of God most high,
Pitying, loving Saviour,
Hear thy children's cry.


G. R. Prynne
