Each child had cited a Bible verse
In the Sunday school one day;
And each one with credit performed his part,
Till at last came little May.
“The Lord is my Shepherd"—she paused to think,
And her heart the faster beat—
“The Lord is my Shepherd—that’s all I want,”
And she promptly took her seat.
‘Twas a message new from a little child,
And it stirred my inmost soul;
Such a tender Shepherd is all I want
Till I reach the heavenly goal.
