16474. Child Of Thy Love

1 Only Thy ten­der love,
Savior di­vine,
Only to hear Thee say,
"Child, thou art Mine."

Refrain:
Only to fol­low Thee,
Where’er Thou lead­est me,
Clothed with hu­mil­ity,
Child of Thy love.

2 Only Thy ten­der love,
Jesus, my Lord,
Love that with per­fect trust
Clings to Thy Word. [Refrain]

3 Only Thy ten­der love,
This is my pray­er,
Love that will teach my heart
Thy cross to bear. [Refrain]
