Little Innocent Lamb

"Little Innocent Lamb" is a vibrant, rhythmic spiritual that brings a burst of energy to any choir's repertoire. Arranged here by Marshall Bartholomew, the piece is driven by a lively, syncopated pulse that captures the joy and determination of a soul committed to serving God. The text weaves together playful warnings about the "hypocrite" and the "debbil" with a steadfast refrain, reminding singers and listeners alike to keep their eyes on the ultimate prize.

For choirs, this arrangement is a thrilling challenge in articulation and dynamic contrast. The overlapping vocal parts build an infectious momentum, especially as the song shifts into the triumphant vision of the "hebbenly lan'" where there is "no dyin' ober dere." It is a fantastic choice for a special choral presentation or a concert setting, leaving the congregation uplifted by its resounding promise of eternal joy.
