I a little pilgrim am,
Of the flock a little lamb;
Jesus has my sins forgiven,
Called me to Himself in heaven.
I was born a sinful child,
But am pardoned, reconciled;
Washed in Christ’s most precious blood;
Made a happy child of God.
Saviour, keep me near to Thee,
Lest I from Thy presence flee;
Shepherd, guard me night and day,
Lest thy foolish lamb should stray.
Teach me, Lord, to love Thy ways,
And to live unto Thy praise;
Young and feeble though I be,
Make me wise and strong in Thee.
Soon shall come the happy day
When Thou’lt call Thine own away;
Then, within the heavenly fold,
We shall all Thy face behold.
