| Text: | I am Jesus' little lamb |

| Tune: | WEIL ICH JESU SCHÄFLEIN BIN |
1 I am Jesus' little lamb,
Ever glad at heart I am;
Jesus loves me, Jesus knows me,
All things fair and good he shows me,
Even calls me by my name;
Every day He is the same.
2 Safely in and out I go,--
Jesus loves and keeps me so.
When I hunger, Jesus feeds me;
When I thirst, my Shepherd leads me
Where the waters softly flow,
Where the sweetest pastures grow.
3 Should I not be always glad?
None whom Jesus loves are sad;
And when this short life is ended,
Those whom the Good Shepherd tended
Will be taken to the skies,
There to dwell in Paradise.
Amen.
