'As tender mothers guiding baby steps
When places come at which the tiny feet
Would trip, lift up he little ones in arms
Oflove and set them down beyond the harm
SO did Our Father watch the precious boy
He saw the sweet limbs faltcring. and saw
Rough ways before you, where your arms
would fail,
So reached from heaven, and lifting the dear
child,
He put him down
Beyond all hurt. beyond your sight,
And babe him wait for YOU
