Each child recited a Bible verse
In the Sunday school one day;
And each with honor 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.
