95. Jesus' Little Lamb Am I

1 Jesus' little lamb am I,
On his goodness I rely;
He, my gentle Shepherd, leads me,
In his pastures green He feeds me;
For He loves me, knows me well,
And my little name can tell.
For He loves me, knows me well,
And my little name can tell.

2 Underneath His gracious staff,
I go in and out and have
Pastures sweet around me lying,
All my hungry soul supplying.
When I thirst, my feet He brings
Where the living water springs.
When I thirst, my feet He brings
Where the living water springs.

3 Should a lambkin then, like me,
Ever sad and thankless be?
When these pleasant days are ended,
On my Shepherd's bosom tended,
I shall be in perfect bliss —
Ah! no joy can equal this.
I shall be in perfect bliss —
Ah! no joy can equal this.
