The Little Lord Jesus

lyricist: Lavinia Brauff, 1901
Composer: Florence Williams

A ba­by once slept in a man­ger

A mo­ther sat close by His side;

This babe was the lit­tle Lord Je­sus

Who for our sins suf­fered and died.

Jesus

Je­sus

Born this bless­èd morn­ing;

Hail Him! Hail Him!

On this Christ­mas day.

Wise men sought this lit­tle Lord Je­sus

Who lived on the earth long ago;

They came with their beau­ti­ful trea­sures

To Beth­le­hem’s plain through the snow.

Now if we will seek this Lord Je­sus

He’ll fill all our hearts with His love;

And gent­ly His Spir­it will guide us

To beau­ti­ful man­sions above.
