Some of the great things thou hast done | B |
For me even me | A |
Thy little one | B |

It was not I that cared for Thee | A |
But Thou didst set Thy heart upon | C |
Me even me | A |
Thy little one | B |

And therefore was it sweet to Thee | A |
To leave Thy Majesty and Throne | D |
And grow like me | A |
A Little One | B |

A swaddled Baby on the knee | A |
Of a dear Mother of Thine own | D |
Quite weak like me | A |
Thy little one | B |

Thou didst assume my misery | A |
And reap the harvest I had sown | D |

Thou lovedst me upon the Tree | A |
Still me hid by the ponderous stone | D |
Me always me | A |
Thy little one | B |

And love of me arose with Thee | A |
When death and hell lay overthrown | D |
Thou lovedst me | A |
Thy little one | B |

And love of me went up with Thee | A |
To sit upon Thy Father's Throne | D |
Thou lovest me | A |
Thy little one | B |

Lord as Thou me so would I Thee | A |
Love in pure love's communion | B |
For Thou lov'st me | A |
Thy little one | B |
- | |
Which love of me brings back with Thee | A |
To Judgment when the Trump is blown | D |
Still loving me | A |
Thy little one | B |
