Representative Text

1 We are little workers,
Working for the Lord;
By His help we're striving
For the blest reward:
We have heard the Master's call,
He has need of one and all,
So we'll gladly work for the Lord.

Chorus:
We will work, work, work,
We will sing, sing sing,
And to Him our off'rings bring;
Sweetest songs of praise,
We will gladly raise
To our Savior, Shepherd, King.

2 We are little singers,
Singing for our King.
Loud our infant voices,
In His praise shall ring;
Jesus loves our happy songs,
For to Him our praise belongs,
So we sweetly sing for our King. [Chorus]

3 Little lambs are we, and
Christ our Shepherd bold,
He has sweetly called us
To His blessed fold,
Naught of evil can befall,
While we heed our Shepherd's call,
We're the little lambs of His fold. [Chorus]
