The Lamb by John Tavener
Performed by
John TavenerThe Lamb Lyrics
Little Lamb who made thee
Dost thou know who made thee
Gave thee life & bid thee feed
By the stream & o'er the mead;
Gave thee clothing of delight
Softest clothing wooly bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice
Making all the vales rejoice!
Little Lamb who made thee
Dost thou know who made thee
Little Lamb I'll tell thee
Little Lamb I'll tell thee!

He became a little child:
I a child & thou a lamb
We are called by his name
Little Lamb God bless thee
Little Lamb God bless thee
