Give gentle answers back again,
And fight a battle for our Lord.

5 With smiles of peace and looks of love
Light in our dwellings we may make,
Bid kind good humor brighten there
And still do all for Jesus' sake.

6 There's not a child so small and weak
But has his little cross to take,
His little work of love and praise
That he may do for Jesus' sake.

2 Fain I would to Thee be brought;
Dearest Lord, forbid it not;
Give a little child a place
In the kingdom of Thy grace.

Thou shalt my example be;
Thou art gentle, meek, and mild;
Thou wast once a little child.

4 Fain I would be as Thou art; Give me Thy obedient heart;

O b 4 i 2bb4:

Thou art pitiful and kind,
Let me have Thy loving mind.

God my heavenly Father's will,
Never His good Spirit grieve,
Only to His glory live.

In Thy gracious hands I am;
Make me, Saviour, what Thou art,
Live Thyself within my heart.
