Little Bessie
Hug me close, closer, dear mother Put your arms around me tight For I am cold and tired, dear mother And I feel so strong tonight
Something hurts me here, dear mother Like a stone upon my breast So I wonder, wonder mother Why it is I cannot rest
All the day as you were working And I lay upon my bed I was trying to be patient And to think of what you said
How the King, Blessed Jesus Loves His lambs to watch and keep Oh, I wish He would come and take me In His arms that I might sleep
Just before the lamps were lighted Just before the children came While the room was very quiet I heard someone call my name
All at once a window opened On a field of lambs and sheep Some were out were in a brook drinking Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Some was lying fast asleep
In a moment I was looking On a world so bright and fair Which was filled with little children And they seemed so happy there
They were singing oh so sweetly Sweetest song I ever heard They were singing, sweeter mother Than our little own birds
But I could not see my Savior Though I strained my eyes to see And I wonder if He saw me Would He speak to such as me
All at once a window opened One so bright upon me smiled And I knew it must be Jesus It's when He said 'Come here, my child'
Come up here, my little Bessie Come up here and live with me Where little children never suffer Suffer through eternity
