"Original Sacred Harp" (Denson Revision) 1960 Edition ‎#207

207. Come, little children, now we may

1 Come, little children, now we may Partake a little morsel, For little songs and little ways Adorned a great apostle. A little drop of Jesus' blood Can make a feast of union; It is by little steps we move Into a full communion. 2 A little faith doth mighty deeds, Quite past all my recounting; Faith, like a little mustard seed Can move a lofty mountain. A little charity and zeal, A little tribulation, A little patience makes us feel Great peace and consolation. 3 A little cross with cheerfulness, A little self-denial, Will serve to make our troubles less, And bear the greatest trial. The Spirit like a little dove On Jesus once descended; To show His meekness and His love, The emblem was intended. 4 The title of the little Lamb Unto our Lord was given, Such was our Savior's little name, The Lord of earth and heaven. A little voice that's small and still Can rule the whole creation; A little stone the earth shall fill, And humble ev'ry nation.
