Baby’s sitting, as you see,
			
				Safely on his mother’s knee;
			
				Now, the daily bath is o’er,
			
				And she’s dressing him once more.
			
		 
			
  
				Safe, secure from every harm,
			
				Clasped by mother’s tender arm;
			
				Where could baby safer be,
			
				For she loves him tenderly?
			
		 
			
  
				God, who over hill and plain,
			
				Sends the sunshine and the rain,
			
				Watches o’er us from above,
			
				With a more than mother’s love
