1. Come, little children, now we may | |||
Partake a little morsel, | |||
For little songs and little ways | |||
Adorned a great apostle. | |||
A little drop of Jesus' blood | |||
Can make a feast of union; | |||
It is by little steps we move | |||
Into a full communion. | |||
2. A little faith does mighty deeds, | |||
Quite past all my recounting; | |||
Faith, like a little mustard seed. | |||
Can move a lofty mountain. | |||
A little charity and zeal, | |||
A little tribulation, | |||
A little patience makes us feel | |||
Great peace and consolation.}} | |||

3. A little cross with cheerfulness, | |||
A little self-denial, | |||
Will serve to make our troubles less, | |||
And bear the greatest trial. | |||
The Spirit like a little dove | |||
On Jesus once descended; | |||
To show his meekness and his love, | |||
The emblem was intended. | |||
4. The title of the little Lamb | |||
Unto our Lord was given; | |||
Such was our Savior's little name, | |||
The Lord of earth and heaven. | |||
A little voice that’s small and still | |||
Can rule the whole creation, | |||
A little stone the earth shall fill, | |||
And humble every nation.}} | |||

{{Text|Simple| | |||
5. A little zeal supplies the soul, | |||
It doth the heart inspire; | |||
A little spark lights up the whole, | |||
And sets the crowd on fire. | |||
A little union serves to hold | |||
The good and tender hearted; | |||
It's stronger than a chain of gold, | |||
And never can be parted. | |||
6. Come, let us labor here below. | |||
And who can be the straightest; | |||
For in God’s kingdom, all must know, | |||
The least shall be the greatest. | |||
O give us, Lord, a little drop | |||
Of heavenly love and union; | |||
O may we never, never stop | |||
Short of a full communion.}} | |||
