            Children

Children are God’s gift to man
That make the whole heart glad ,
For the joy of every boy and girl
Is a joy to every mum and dad.

The wondrous joy a child can bring,
Down through the dark ages shine,
For of all the gifts of God to man
Surely none can be as fine.

Each tiny tot from time of birth
Brings us all a joy untold,
To every mum and dad alike
Whether either young or old.

God has smiled on you and me
To give us kids we hold so dear,
To love and cherish down that long long road
That stretch from year to year.

So go down this night on bended knees
Before you go to sleep,
And sincerely pray to our good Lord
Our children safe to keep
