Lyrics

vs1
There was a lamb, a pretty little lamb
Who strayed one day from her mother
She wandered near and she wandered far
Going from one place to another

vs 2
Poor little lamb, you know she got lost
Couldn't find her way back to the others
She was alone and a little scared
And oh, she wanted her mother

ch 1
Oh but she had a friend and a guardian
Who would not leave her all alone
Someone who loved her and treasured her
And would bring her safely home

vs 3
The shepherd counted his flock one by one
And to his dismay he did discover
One of his own sweet precious lambs
Had wandered away from her mother

ch 2
Oh but he was a friend and a guardian
Who would not leave his lamb all alone
Because he loved her and treasured her
He would bring her safely home

vs 4
The shepherd searched high and low
Going from one place to another
Until he found his precious lamb
And took her home to her mother

ch 3
Because he was a friend and a guardian
He did not leave his lamb all alone
Oh yes he loved her and treasured her
So he brought her safely home

tag
Because he loves her and treasures her
He will always bring his lamb home
