LORD, that I may learn of thee, Give me true simplicity; Wean my soul, and keep...

John Wesley (1703-1791)

4 Verses Childlike Faith

Verse 1

LORD, that I may learn of thee, Give me true simplicity; Wean my soul, and keep it low. Willing thee alone to know.

Verse 2

Let me cast my reeds aside, All that feeds my knowing pride, Not to man, but God submit, Lay my reasonings at thy feet;

Verse 3

Of my boasted wisdom spoiled, Docile, helpless, as a child, Only seeing in thy light, Only walking in thy might.

Verse 4

Then infuse the teaching grace, Spirit of truth and righteousness; Knowledge, love divine, impart, Life eternal, to my heart.
