POOR LITTLE JESUS (HAIL, LORD)
Traditional Negro Spiritual


Poor little Jesus, Hail, Lord
Child o'Mary, Hail, Lord
Born in a stable, Hail, Lord
Ain't that a pity, an'a shame

Poor little Jesus, Hail, Lord
Took Him from a manger, Hail, Lord
Took Him from his mother, Hail, Lord
Ain't that a pity, an'a shame

Poor little Jesus, Hail, Lord
They give Him to the Hebrew, Hail, Lord
They spit on His garment, Hail, Lord
Ain't that a pity, an'a shame

Poor little Jesus, Hail, Lord
They bound Him with a halter, Hail, Lord
Whipped Him up the mountain, Hail, Lord
Ain't that a pity, an'a shame

Poor little Jesus, Hail, Lord
They nailed Him to the cross, Hail, Lord
They hung Him with the robber, Hail, Lord
Ain't that a pity, an'a shame.

Brave saviour Jesus, Hail, Lord
Risen from the darkness, Hail, Lord
'Scended into glory, Hail, Lord
Ain't that a wonder an'a joy.

Brave saviour Jesus, Hail, Lord
Meet me in the Kingdom, Hail, Lord
Lead me to my Father, Hail, Lord
Ain't that a wonder, and a joy.
