THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE
WORLD.

Blessing on the hands of womani .
Angels guard it strength and grace
In the palace, cottage, howell
Q, no matter where the place!
Would that never storms assailed it
Rainbows ever gently curled
For the hand that rock the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
1nfancy's the tender fountain ;
Bowers may with beauty flow
Mothers first to guide the streamlet,
From the sou1's unresting grow ; :
Grow ON for the good or evil..as Isl
'Sanshines streamed or darkness
hsS hurried, ii biEs d1js ssH 2.
For the hand that rocks the. cradle /.
E. Is the hand that rocks the world.
Woman! How divine your mission,
Here upon our natal sodt
Keep, o, keep the young heart open
Always to the breath of God!
All true trophies of the ages s,.fd
Are from Mother love impearled
For the Hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
Blessings ON the hands of Woman!
Fathers, sons, and daughters cry
And the sacred song is mingled {
With the worship in the sky; .odi
Mingles where no tempests darken,
Rainbows evermore are curled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
