That's it. + 1 (but give the FBW a moment to react first).

It might be helpful for the OP to imagine you are in a small boat on a moderate sea. You keep it pointing in the right general direction but you do not rapidly see-saw the rudder of the boat to prevent every inch of deviation - you just keep gently bringing it back to point in the right direction

If a gust has taken you above the glide-slope, then you will need to pitch down lower than normal to recapture the glide-slope - but I hope that is teaching you to suck eggs !
