TEN LITTLE CHRISTIANS
|
||
|
||
|
||
TEN ÿLITTLE CHRISTIANS, ÿstanding in a line. ÿOne ÿdidn't
|
||
like the preacher, then there were nine.
|
||
|
||
NINE LITTLE CHRISTIANS, stayed up very late. One slept on
|
||
Sunday morning, then there were eight.
|
||
|
||
EIGHT LITTLE CHRISTIANS, on the road to heaven. ÿOne took
|
||
the lower road, then there were seven.
|
||
|
||
SEVEN LITTLE CHRISTIANS, ÿgot in an awful fix. One didn't
|
||
like the music, then there were six.
|
||
|
||
SIX LITTLE CHRISTIANS, ÿseemed very much alive. ÿBut ÿone
|
||
lost her interest, then there were five.
|
||
|
||
FIVE LITTLE CHRISTIANS, wishing there were more. But they
|
||
quarreled with each other, then there were four.
|
||
|
||
FOUR ÿLITTLE CHRISTIANS, ÿcheerful as could be. ÿBut ÿone
|
||
lost his temper, then there were three.
|
||
|
||
THREE LITTLE CHRISTIANS, ÿknew not what to do. One joined
|
||
a sporty crowd, then there were two.
|
||
|
||
TWO LITTLE CHRISTIANS, our rhyme is almost done. Differed
|
||
with each other, then there was one.
|
||
|
||
ONE LITTLE CHRISTIAN, ÿwon her neighbor true. Brought her
|
||
with her to church, then there were two!
|
||
|
||
TWO EARNEST CHRISTIANS, each won more. That doubled their
|
||
number, then there were four!
|
||
|
||
FOUR SINCERE CHRISTIANS, ÿworked very late. ÿBut each won
|
||
another, so there were eight!!!!
|
||
|
||
EIGHT ÿSPLENDID ÿCHRISTIANS ÿ- But ÿnothing ÿrhymes ÿwith
|
||
"sixteen", ÿÿso we simply note that in seven more ÿjingles ÿthere
|
||
would be one thousand and twenty-four Christians, ÿwhich would be
|
||
quite a crowd!!!!
