Hymns for Children, 10

Almighty God, to Thee I cry.
Assist a child's infirmity.
Nor let me with my lips draw nigh,
While my heart wanders far from Thee.

Ah! never let me speak a word,
But what with all my soul I mean;
Or lie to Thee, Thou glorious Lord,
By whom my every thought is seen.

With what submissive lowhness
Shall I approach Thy gracious throne?
How can I hope by words to please,
To please a God I have not known?

I know not what to do or say.
Till I Thy blessed Spirit receive.
And Jesus teaches me to pray,
And Jesus teaches me to live.
