He showed me
He showed me a little thing
The quantity of a hazelnut
He showed me
He showed me a little thing
Lying in the palm of my hand
as round as a ball

I wondered
What may this be?
I was answered, answered
It is all that is made
It is all that is made

I marvelled
How might it last?
I thought
I thought it might have fallen to naught for littleness
Suddenly have fallen to naught for littleness
Might have fallen to naught for littleness
Suddenly have fallen to naught for littleness
I was answered
Fallen to naught for littleness, answered

It lasteth, and ever shall last that God loves it
It lasteth, and ever shall last that God loves
That God loves it

He showed me
He showed me this little thing
This little thing that is made
I thought
I thought this might have
Fallen to naught for littleness
