Thank you for...A wonderful way to finish the year! Thank you for never tiring of reminding me that I am Jesus' lamb. ;-)<BR/><BR/>"I Am Jesus; Little Lamb"<BR/>by Henrietta L. von Hayn, 1724-1782<BR/><BR/>1. I am Jesus' little lamb,<BR/>Ever glad at heart I am;<BR/>For my Shepherd gently guides me,<BR/>Knows my need, and well provides me,<BR/>Loves me every day the same,<BR/>Even calls me by my name.<BR/><BR/>2. Day by day, at home, away,<BR/>Jesus is my Staff and Stay.<BR/>When I hunger, Jesus feeds me,<BR/>Into pleasant pastures leads me;<BR/>When I thirst, He bids me go<BR/>Where the quiet waters flow.<BR/><BR/>3. Who so happy as I am,<BR/>Even now the Shepherd's lamb?<BR/>And when my short life is ended,<BR/>By His angel host attended,<BR/>He shall fold me to His breast,<BR/>There within His arms to rest.<BR/><BR/>Hymn #648 <BR/>The Lutheran Hymnal<BR/>Text: John 21:15<BR/>Author: Henriette L. von Hayn, 1778<BR/>Translated by: composite<BR/>Titled: "Weil ich Jesu Schaeflein bin"<BR/>1st Published in: Brueder Choral-Buch, 1784<BR/>Tune: "Weil ich Jesu Schaeflein bin"Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01098951324693367994noreply@blogger.com
