Children's Hymnal ‎#91

91. O Master of the Loving Heart

1 O Master of the loving heart,
The Friend of all in need,
We pray that we may be like thee
In thought and word and deed.

2 Thy days were full of kindly acts,
Thy speech was true and plain;
And no one ever sought thee, Lord,
Who came to thee in vain.

3 Thy face was warm with sympathy,
Thy hand God's strength revealed;
Who saw thy face, or felt thy touch
Were comforted and healed.

4 O grant us hearts like thine, dear Lord,
So joyous, true, and free,
That all thy children everywhere,
Be drawn by us to thee.

Amen.
