Lyrics 1. Savior we ask to be always thine own, Look on us tenderly, now from thy throne; Lambs of thy fold thou can'st make us today, Lead us Dear Savior, and show us the way. Chorus: Precious the words that were spoken by thee, Suffer the children to come unto me. 2. Earth has no friendship so holy as thine, Care for us lovingly, Shepherd divine, Smile on our pathway wherever we go, Teach us thy truth and thy wisdom to know. 3. Saviour, we thank thee that faith brings us near, Just as the little ones came to thee here; If we are willing to answer thy call, Thou hast a blessing, dear Saviour, for all. 4. Taking our cross if we follow thee still, Meekly and cheerfully doing thy will; Then in the beautiful mansions above, We shall be welcomed and crown'd with thy love.
