Oh Little Lamb of God

Oh little lamb of God brought forth by a virgin of simple hands son of the father unto all men To and fro he walked this earth Until his sacrificial end coughed up by one of his own poor little lamb innocently most humbly Yet on his last night of his life he broke bread with twelve men a Sacrament of his own flesh and blood he freely offered them God the Father sent his son, our salvation whom bestowed honor, blessings, mercy, and the greatest of love His heart pure and earnest such was this little lamb lead to his end with a heavy cross to bare, weary brow, and steady hands, a love for others unending Through humility, and peace, his forgiveness unfailing until the end, crying out to his father it was now done, lamb of mercy, lamb of peace, lamb of rite, lamb of eternity, I lay my heart upon his graceful feet and cleanse my soul with his blood and body the Holy Sacrament, forever, and ever, to enter in heaven's doorway in peace, amen
