Sweet Little Jesus Boy

Sweet little Jesus Boy

They made You be born in a manger

Sweet little Holy Child

They didn't know who You wereDidn't know You'd come to save us

Lord, to take our sins away

Our eyes were blind

And we could not see

We didn't know who You wereA long time ago

You were born in a manger, Lord

Sweet little Jesus Boy

Now the world treated You mean, LordAnd it's been treatin' me mean too

But that's how things are done now

We didn't know it was YouYou done told us how

And we are a-tryin'

Master, You done showed us how

Even when You were dyin'It just seems like we can't do right

Look how we treated You

Please, please, forgive us, Lord

We didn't know it was YouSweet little Jesus Boy

Born a long time ago

Sweet little Holy Child

We didn't know who You were
