Thank God for Little Children.

Thank God for little children,

Bright flowers by earthâ€™s wayside,

The dancing, joyous lifeboats

Upon lifeâ€™s stormy tide.

Thank God for little children;

When our skies are cold and gray,

They come as sunshine to our hearts,

And charm our cares away.

I almost think the angels,

Who tend lifeâ€™s garden fair,

Drop down the sweet wild blossoms

That bloom around us here.

It seems a breath of heaven

Round many a cradle lies,

And every little baby

Brings a message from the skies.

Dear mothers, guard these jewels,

As sacred offerings meet,

A wealth of household treasures

To lay at Jesusâ€™ feet.
