Verse 1: I am Jesus' little lamb; Ever glad at heart I am, For my shepherd gently guides me, Knows my needs and well provides me, Loves me ev'ry day the same, Even calls me by my name.

Verse 2: 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.

Verse 3: 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.
