Representative Text

1 We are lambs of Jesus, and our hearts their tribute bring,
We are precious little lambs, we are precious little lambs,
And our voices raise thanksgiving to our Lord and King,
We are lambs, little lambs, precious lambs.

Refrain:
We are little lambs, we are precious lambs,
We are little lambs, we are precious little lambs,
We are little lambs, we are precious lambs,
We are lambs, little lambs, precious lambs.

2 We are lambs of Jesus, ‘twas for such His life He gave,
We are precious little lambs, we are precious little lambs,
To reclaim the lost ones, all the little lambs to save,
We are lambs, little lambs, precious lambs. [Refrain]

3 We are lambs of Jesus, ev’ry footstep He will guide,
We are precious little lambs, we are precious little lambs,
We shall meet the Shepherd in His sheepfold e’er abide.
We are lambs, little lambs, precious lambs. [Refrain]
