Hymn

O li'l' lamb out in de col', De Mastah call you to de fol', O li'l' lamb! He hyeah you bleatin' on de hill; Come hyeah an' keep yo' mou'nin' still, O li'l' lamb! De Mastah sen' de Shepud fo'f; He wandah souf, he wandah no'f, O li'l' lamb! He wandah eas', he wandah wes'; De win' a-wrenchin' at his breas', O li'l' lamb! Oh, tell de Shepud whaih you hide; He want you walkin' by his side, O li'l' lamb! He know you weak, he know you so'; But come, don' stay away no mo', O li'l' lamb! An' af'ah while de lamb he hyeah De Shepud's voice a-callin' cleah— Sweet li'l' lamb! He answah f'om de brambles thick, "O Shepud, I's a-comin' quick"— O li'l' lamb!
