OH BABY MINE
My baby, Oh my laughing, baby child,
What God-like joy you give!
Since I received you, how He has smil’d
And made me love and live,
Oh baby mine!

Some sorrow I have had, some deep delight,
And much the even way;
Some views attract of vale and mountain height,
But naught like you, each day,
Oh baby mine!
Oh baby mine, O sweetest baby mine,
What angel makes you laugh?
What silent tempter makes you cry and whine?
But more of wheat than chaff,
Oh baby mine!
Your coming days are all unknown to me,
Your pitfall, or your pest;
But God is good; I trust and pray that He
May hold you to His breast,
Oh baby mine!
