The Lamb
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Little Lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee?
Gave thee life, and bid thee feed
By the stream and o'er the mead;
Gave thee clothing of delight,
Softest clothing, woolly, bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,
Making all the vales rejoice?
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 called 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 called by his name.
Little Lamb, God bless thee!
Little Lamb, God bless thee!
