Oh little towns in Covid land
How still we see thee lie
Thy residents are quarantined
They do not want to die
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
A temporary light
The sanitizing crews at work
Spray Lysol through the night

Oh little towns in Covid land
Stay clean and pure we pray
Keep practicing your distancing
It keeps disease at bay
Remember some are hurting
And need your loving care
Give them a hug like Christ would do
If only through the air

How valiantly, how valiantly
The healthcare workers strive
To save all those who have Covid
And keep them all alive.
We all can pray together
For those who need God’s hand
To give relief from all the grief
Throughout this Covid land.
