Make Me a Child of Thine
Author: E. E. Hewitt Hymnal: Sunday-School Praises #123 (1900) Lyrics: 1 Make me a child of thine,
Happy and blest;
Under thy shelt’ring wings
Finding sweet rest.
Washed in the cleansing blood,
Pure in thy sight,
Wearing thy righteousness,
Walking in white.
Make me a child of thine,
Happy and blest;
Under thy shelt’ring wings
Finding sweet rest.
2 Make me a child of thine,
Glad to obey;
Willing to follow thee,
Asking the way.
Led by thy guiding hand,
Fed at thy board,
Bearing thy precious name,
Jesus my Lord!
Make me a child of thine,
Glad to obey;
Willing to follow thee,
Asking the way.
3 Make me a child of thine,
Filled with thy love;
Turning from worldliness,
Looking above.
Trusting and serving thee
Till I shall be
In mansions beautiful,
Dwelling with thee.
Make me a child of thine,
Filled with thy love;
Turning from worldliness,
Looking above. Languages: English Tune Title: [Make me a child of thine]
