10 little Christians
standing in line.

overslept Sunday, then there were 8.
8 little
Christians on their way to Heaven.

his feelings hurt, then there were 3
3 little
Christians knew not what to do.
1 joined the sporty crowd,
then there were 2
2 little Christians, our rhyme is

differed with each other, then there was
1
1 little Christian can't do much 'tis
true,
brought his friend to bible study, then there were
2
2 earnest Christians, each won one more.
That
doubled the number, then there were 4
4 sincere
Christians worked early and late.
Each won another then
there were 8
8 splendid Christians if they doubled as
