I Am Jesus' Little Lamb


I am Jesus' little lamb,
Therefore, glad at heart I am,
Jesus loves me Jesus knows me,
All that's good and fair he shows me,
Tends me everyday the same,
Even calls me by my name.

Mrs. Fink learned this song when she was four years old. Her older sister, Verna, made her and her younger sister, Arliss (who was 3 years old) memorize and sing this song for a powder sugar donut. She still remembers the song today at the young age of 72. (Picture is Mrs. Fink at about 2 or 3 years old)

I looked the song up on the Internet to get the other verses and this is what I found:

I AM JESUS’ LITTLE LAMB
I am Jesus’ little lamb,
Ever glad at heart I am;
For my Shepherd gently guides me,
Knows my need and well provides me,
Loves me ev’ry day the same,
Even calls me by my name.

Day by day, at home, away,
Jesus is my staff and stay.
When I hunger, Jesus feeds me,
Into pleasant pastures leads me;
When I thirst, He bids me go
Where the quiet waters flow.

Who so happy as I am,
Even now the Shepherd’s lamb?
And when my short life is ended,
By His angel host attended,
He shall fold me to His breast,
There within His arms to rest
Words by Henrietta L. van Hayn
