Don't let your heart be hardened - don't let your love grow cold May it always stay so childlike - may it never grow too old Don't let your heart be hardened - may you always know the cure Keep it broken before Jesus, keep it thankful, meek, and pure May it always feel compassion - may it beat as one with God's May it never be contrary - may it never be at odds May it always be forgiving - may it never know conceit May it always be encouraged - may it never know defeat May your heart be always open - never satisfied with right May your heat be filled with courage and strengthened with all might Let His love rain down upon you Breaking up your fallow ground Let it lossen all the binding Till only tenderness is found
