Little lamb, do you seek the fold
Where the shepherd is kind to you?
Does he guard you well from the storm and cold,
And tenderly watch the whole night through,
Little lamb?
Little lad, as you leave your play
And seek the haven of warmth and light,
Does the mother-kiss heal the scars of day
As you safely slumber throughout the night,
Little lad?
Heart of mine, put thy fears away!
God is near, though the darkness fall;
Love will wake thee to peaceful day;
Love is perfect, and All-in-all,
Heart of mine!
