Text:I'm But a Little Lambkin
Tune:[I'm but a little lambkin]
Composer:J. K. Cole

111. I'm But a Little Lambkin

1 I'm but a little lambkin,
But thou dost care for me;
In thy great flock, dear Savior,
I ever safe shall be.

2 Thy tender care shall lead me,
Thro' toils from day to day;
Thy gentle hands will soothe me,
And wipe my tears away.

3 Thy love will be like sunlight,
Showing my pathway home;
Safe to that blessed heav'n,
Whence I can never roam.

4 Here for life's days of trouble,
My comforter thou'lt be;
Till endless days are given,
Dear Lord, in Heaven with thee.
