Oh, to be like the little lamb
who stood beside Your crib
that I could welcome You on earth
as others gladly did.

Oh, to be like a little lamb
by the Good Shepherd led
beside the waters still and calm;
green pastures for my bed.

Well Mary had a holy Lamb
His soul was white as snow
And for my sins ev'n to the cross
The Lamb was sure to go

O how I weep, a sorry lamb,
I gaze upon Your deed.
The Lamb of God who died for all,
who, for my sins, did bleed.

Lord guide the steps of this small lamb,
and let my life be whole.
Your rod and staff to comfort me
Your voice restore my soul.

So I will be Your little lamb,
will lie beside the lion
in Your great Kingdom when we meet
at Your appointed time.
