Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. Little knees should lowly bend, Little knees should lowly bend, At the hour of prayer, At the hour of prayer; Little tho’ts to heav’n ascend, To our Father there, Little tho’ts to heav’n ascend, To our father there.
2. Little tongues should speak the truth, Little tongues should speak the truth Without fear or halt, Without fear or halt; Little lips should ne’er be loth, To confess a fault, Little lips should ne’er be loth To confess a fault.
