In His Loving Arms

 

 Who can make a sunbeam

Sparkle in the sky,

Put a magic in the dawn,

Send a butterfly,

Singing birds in springtime,

Gentle April showers,

Lend a touch of fragrance

To the Junetime flowers?

Who can form a rainbow

When the storm is through,

Place a lovely cloudstep

In the skies of blue,

Build the highest mountain,

Form the wondrous sea,

The miracle of Autumn

Each colored leaf and tree?

Hold us, oh, so firmly

In His loving arms,

Forgive our each transgression,

Lend us angel charms,

Walk beside us always,

Patiently to trod,

Give us life unending...?

No one - only God.
