The God who made the palm-tree,
The chestnut, and the oak,
He also made the tiny flowers,
And made us little folk.
The God who made the sun-king;
The moon, the queen of night:
He lit the lamps of glow-worms,
And makes us children bright.
The God who guides the angels,
And gives the eagle wings:
He also made the butterflies,
And all the little things.
The God who loves our fathers,
And brothers, strong and tall:
I know He loves our baby,
Though she is weak and small.
The Saviour who once suffered
For this great world of sin:
I know He thought of children,
And died their life to win.
