TINY HANDS

(written by Kenneth Cope)

 

(Emma)

Another pair of tiny hands

To lay beneath the clay

Slumbering little baby eyes

To wake another day

O God of heaven, come guard this bed

And let this angel sleep

Till earth is pure for tiny hands

And safe for tiny feet

 

(Joseph)

A wondrous little baby smile

The hope of things to be

Born to face a troubled world

For a moment, and then set free

O God of heaven, take hate from man

Till lambs and lions feed

And make earth pure for tiny hands

And safe for tiny feet

 

Tiny hands

Angel hands

Perfect hands

Blameless hands

(Both)

Lifeless hands resting in the night

Waiting for the light

When life will follow

O God of heaven, send Christ again

Bring in His reign of peace

Let earth turn pure

For tiny hands

And safe for tiny feet

Then give back my child to me
