1. Little King, so fair and sweet,

See us gathered round thy feet,

Be thou monarch of our School,

It shall prosper neath thy rule.

Brave to suffer, brave to do,

All our hearts to thee we bring

Take them, keep them little King.

2. Raise thy little hand to bless

All our childhood’s happiness;

Bless our sorrow and our pain,

That each cross may be our gain

By Thine own sweet childhood, Lord,

Sanctify each thought and world,

Set thy seal on everything

Which we do, O little King.

3. Be our Teacher when we learn,

All the hard to easy turn, be our playmate when we play,

So we shall indeed be gay.

Keep us happy, keep us pure,

While our childhood shall endure

All its days to Thee we bring,

bless them, guard them, little King.

4. Be our leader in the fight

In the darkness be our light,

O’er the rough and o’er the smooth

Safely guide our wayward youth

Whereso’er our path may be,

We will try to follow Thee

To thy mantle we will cling,

Help us, save us, little King.

5. Little King, so dear and sweet,

Here we cast before Thy feet

All we are or yet may be,

Every sense and faculty;

All our body, all our soul

We subject to thy control

Let them all Thy praises sing,

Now and always, little King.

6. Let us in the noisy world

Keep Thy banner broad unfurled,

In an age of ease and pride

Leading Christian lives denied,

In an age which seeks its way,

Glad and cheerful to obey

While thy simple Truth shall ring

In word and act, O little King.

7. And when holidays have come

Call thy children to Thy home.

In that gentle voice of Thine.

Which we know, sweet child Divine.

At the gate, O! Meet us thus,

As we loved Thee-child like us,

Stretch Thy hands in welcoming

To Thine own. O little King.
