17. A Little Child May Know

1 A little child may know
Our Father's name of love;
'Tis written o'er the earth below
And on the sky above.

2 Around me when I look,
His handiwork I see;
This world is like a picture book
To teach His love to me.

3 The birds that sweetly sing,
The moon that shines by night,
With every tiny living things
Rejoicing in the light,

4 And every star above,
Set in the deep blue sky,
Assure me that our God is love
And tell me He is nigh.
