Gentle Jesus, Gentle Lord

1. Once He gently ruled o'er ev'rything. Once He gently prompted angels to sing. Once He gently fashioned butterfly wings. He's Jesus, gentle Lord of all.

2. Once He gently molded with words alone. Once He gently shared God's mighty throne. Once He gently left -- became unknown. He's Jesus, gentle Lord of all.

3. Once He gently came, a baby small. Once He gently played, a teen growing tall. Once He gently walked, a man with a call. He's Jesus, gentle Lord of all.

4. Once He gently led a little child. Once He gently turned a frown to a smile. Once He gently blessed a baby so mild. He's Jesus, gentle Lord of all.

Refrain: Gentle Jesus, Gentle Lord, Come and bless our baby. Gentle Jesus, Gentle Lord, Come and bless our fam'ly.
