Little lamb, who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee, gave thee life, and bade thee feed by the stream and o'er the mead; gave thee clothing of delight, softest clothing, woolly, bright; Little lamb, who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee? Little lamb, I'll tell thee; Little lamb, I'll tell thee;  He is calléd by thy name, for He calls Himself a lamb; He is meek and He is mild, He became a little child. I a child and thou a lamb, we are calléd by His name. Little lamb, God bless thee! Little lamb, God bless thee!

The Lamb

Maria Walks Amid the Thorn

Joseph, mild and Noble, bent above the straw
Apple girl, a frail girl, suffering he saw;
"O my Love, my Mary, my bride, I pity thee!"
"Nay, Dear," said Mary, "all is well with me!"
"Baby, my baby, O my Babe," she sang. 
Suddenly the golden night all with music rang.

Angels leading shepherds, shepherds leading sheep:
The silence of worship broke the mother's sleep.
All the meek and lowly of all the world were there;
Smiling, she showed them that her child was fair;
Boby, my baby," kissing Him she said,
Suddenly a flaming star through the heavens sped.

Three old men and weary knelt them side by side,
The world's wealth forswearing majesty and pride;
Worldly might and wisdom before the Babe bent low:
Weeping, maid Mary said, "I love Him so!"
Baby, my baby, and the Baby slept.
Suddenly on Calvary all the olives wept.
