The Lamb

Little Lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee?
Gave thee life, and bid thee feed
By the stream and o’er the mead;
Gave thee clothing of delight,
Softest clothing, woolly, bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,
Making all the vales rejoice;
Little Lamb, who made thee?

Little Lamb, I’ll tell thee;
He is called by thy name,
For He calls Himself a Lamb;
He is meek, and he is mild;
He became a little child:
I, a child, and thou, a lamb,
We are called by His name.
Little Lamb, God bless thee!
Little Lamb, God bless thee!
