Well, for starters, let's not forget Charles Wesley's popular "Hymn LXIX," "Hymns for the Youngest" in his Hymns for Children, 1763; this little bit of encoding from the Ideological State Apparatus seems a likely candidate for what the speaker has recently suffered. Here, then, in its entirety:
1 GENTLE Jesus, meek and mild,
Look upon a little child,
Pity my simplicity,
Suffer me to come to Thee:2 Fain I would to Thee be brought,
Dearest God, forbid it not:
Give me, dearest God, a place,
In the kingdom of thy grace.3 Put thy hands upon my head,
Let me in thine arms be stayed,
Let me lean upon thy breast,
Lull me, lull me, Lord to rest.4 Hold me fast in thine embrace,
Let me see thy smiling face,
Give me, Lord, thy blessing give,
Pray for me, and I shall live.5 I shall live the simple life,
Free from sin's uneasy strife,
Sweetly ignorant of ill,
Innocent and happy still.6 O that I may never know,
What the wicked people do!
Sin is contrary to Thee,
Sin is the forbidden Tree.7 Keep me from the great offence,
Guard my helpless innocence,
Hide me from all evil hide,
Self, and stubbornness and pride.
Part the Second.1 LAMB of God, I look to Thee,
Thou shalt my example be,
Thou art gentle, meek, and mild,
Thou wast once a little child.2 Fain I would be as Thou art,
Give me thy obedient heart;
Thou art pitiful and kind,
Let me have thy loving mind.3 Meek, and lowly may I be,
Thou art all humility;
Let me to my betters bow,
Subject to thy parents Thou.4 Let me above all fulfil
God my heavenly Father's will,
Never his good Spirit grieve,
Only to his glory live.5 Thou didst live to God alone,
Thou didst never seek thine own,
Thou thyself didst never please,
God was all thy happiness.6 Loving Jesus, gentle Lamb,
In thy gracious hands I am,
Make me, Saviour, what Thou art,
Live thyself within my heart.7 I shall then shew forth thy praise,
Serve thee all my happy days,
Then the world shall always see
Christ, the holy child in me.
And consider a little girl learning this, who in a year or two would advance to Wesley's Hymns for Girls, including Hymn LXVII.
