Dear Lord let me recount to TheeA
Some of the great things thou hast doneB
For me even meA
Thy little oneB
-
It was not I that cared for TheeA
But Thou didst set Thy heart uponC
Me even meA
Thy little oneB
-
And therefore was it sweet to TheeA
To leave Thy Majesty and ThroneD
And grow like meA
A Little OneB
-
A swaddled Baby on the kneeA
Of a dear Mother of Thine ownD
Quite weak like meA
Thy little oneB
-
Thou didst assume my miseryA
And reap the harvest I had sownD
Comforting meA
Thy little oneB
-
Jerusalem and GalileeA
Thy love embraced not those aloneD
But also meA
Thy little oneB
-
Thy unblemished Body on the TreeA
Was bared and broken to atoneD
For me for meA
Thy little oneB
-
Thou lovedst me upon the TreeA
Still me hid by the ponderous stoneD
Me always meA
Thy little oneB
-
And love of me arose with TheeA
When death and hell lay overthrownD
Thou lovedst meA
Thy little oneB
-
And love of me went up with TheeA
To sit upon Thy Father's ThroneD
Thou lovest meA
Thy little oneB
-
Lord as Thou me so would I TheeA
Love in pure love's communionB
For Thou lov'st meA
Thy little oneB
-
Which love of me brings back with TheeA
To Judgment when the Trump is blownD
Still loving meA
Thy little oneB
