I am Jesus' little lamb

Author: Henrietta L. von Hayn Meter: 7.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I am Jesus' little lamb, Ever glad at heart I am; For my Shepherd gently guides me, Knows my need, and well provides me, Loves me ev'ry day the same, Even calls me by my name. 2 Day by day, at home, away, Jesus is my staff and stay. When I hunger, Jesus feeds me, Into pleasant pastures leads me; When I thirst, he bids me go Where the quiet waters flow. 3 Who so happy as I am, Even now the Shepherd's lamb? And when my short life is ended, By his angel host attended, He shall fold me to his breast, There within his arms to rest. Amen.

O, mark this word of promise When thou art by thy sins oppressed, When Satan plagues thy troubled conscience, And when thy heart is seeking rest. What reason cannot comprehend God by his grace to thee doth send. 4 By grace! This ground of faith is certain; So long as God is true, it stands.

'Tis our God, our glorious Saviour, Who above the starry sky Now for us a place prepareth, Where no tear can dim the eye. 3 Who is this? behold him shedding Drops of blood upon the ground! Who is this, despised, rejected, Mocked, insulted, beaten, bound? 'Tis our God, who gifts and graces On his Church now poureth down; Who shall smite in holy vengeance All his foes beneath his throne. 4 Who is this that hangeth dying While the rude world scoffs and scorns, Numbered with the malefactors, Torn with nails, and crowned with thorns? 'Tis the God who ever liveth 'Mid the shining ones on high, In the glorious golden city, Reigning everlastingly. Amen.
