Don t let your heart be hardened don t let your love grow cold

Don t let your heart be hardened - don t let your love grow coldMay it always stay so childlike - may it never grow too oldDon t let your heart be hardened - may you always know the cureKeep it broken before Jesus keep it thankful meek and pureMay it always feel compassion - may it beat as one with God sMay it never be contrary - may it never be at oddsMay it always be forgiving - may it never know conceitMay it always be encouraged - may it never know defeatMay your heart be always open - never satisfied with rightMay your heat be filled with courage and strengthened with all mightLet His love rain down upon youBreaking up your fallow groundLet it lossen all the bindingTill only tenderness is found
