Only a Baby Small[edit]
Verse 1
- Only a baby small,
Dropt from the skies;
Only a laughing face,
Two sunny eyes;
Only two cherry lips,
One chubby nose,
Only two little hands,
Ten little toes.
......
Verse 3 (final)
- Only a tender flower
Sent us to rear,
Only a life to love
While we are here,
Only a baby small,
Never at rest;
Small, but how dear to us
God knoweth best.
