Jesus, Hear Me

Savior, bless a little child;
Teach my heart the way to Thee;
Make it gentle, good and mild;
Loving Savior, care for me.

Refrain

Hear me, O Savior,
Hear Thy little child today;
Hear, O hear me;
Hear me when I pray.

I am young, but Thou hast said—
All who will, may come to Thee;
Feed my soul with living Bread;
Loving Savior, care for me.

Refrain

Jesus, help me, I am weak;
Let me put my trust in Thee;
Teach me how and what to speak;
Loving Savior, care for me.

Refrain

Author: Fanny Crosby

Year: 1866

Commonly attributed to Fanny J. Crosby (also known as Frances Jane Crosby). The style, refrain structure, and child-focused devotional theme are characteristic of her many Sunday-school hymns from the 1860s. Some hymnals list it simply as 'Anon.' or provide no attribution, but most sources that name an author credit Crosby.
