"Behold the Lamb of God!" John 1:36
 | Words: Charles Wesley, Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1742. In the original form, the line "Lamb of God, I look to Thee" began a second hymn. However, the two have become entwined in common usage. Music: "Gentle Jesus," Martin Fallas Shaw, 1915

Gentle Jesus, meek and mild,
Look upon a little child;
Pity my simplicity,
Suffer me to come to Thee.
Lamb of God, I look to Thee;
Thou shalt my Example be;
Thou art gentle, meek, and mild;
Thou wast once a little child.
Lord, I would be as Thou art;
Give me Thine obedient heart;
Thou art pitiful and kind,
Let me have Thy loving mind.
Let me, above all, fulfill
God my heav'nly Father's will;
Never His good Spirit grieve;
Only to His glory live.
Loving Jesus, gentle Lamb,
In Thy gracious hands I am;
Make me, Savior, what Thou art,
Live Thyself within my heart.
