I AM SMALL AND OF NO REPUTATION, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: The least, if so I am
Last Line: To thee the small who fear.

THE least, if so I am;
If so, less than the least,
May I reach heaven to glorify the Lamb
And sit down at the Feast.

I fear and I am small,
Whence am I of good cheer;
For I, who hear Thy call, have heard Thee call
To Thee the small who fear.
