C. God created the lamb
The poem starts with the question "Little Lamb, who made thee?" which is later answered in the form of an analogy in the second stanza of the poem:
"Little Lamb I'll tell thee!He is called by thy name, For he calls himself a Lamb: He is meek & he is mild, He became a little child: I a child & thou a lamb, We are called by his name. Little Lamb God bless thee. Little Lamb God bless thee."
It should be noted that the Lamb is what Jesus is called in the Gospel of John, the poem states that, "He is called by thy name, / For he calls himself a Lamb" and according to the Holy Trinity there is God as the Father, God as the Son, and God as the Holy Spirit so we can see how the Lamb refers to God here. There is a further cross between the Lamb, God and Jesus in the phrase "He became a little child" referring to God as Jesus. Lastly, "meek" and "mild" are also values of the Christian belief attributed to Jesus and consequently God.
