Gloria Deo ‎#680

680. Beautiful the Little Hands

1 Beautiful the little hands,
That fulfill the Lord’s commands;
Beautiful the little eyes,
Kindled with light from the skies.

Refrain:
Beautiful, beautiful little hands,
That fulfill the Lord’s commands;
Beautiful, beautiful little eyes,
Kindled with light from the skies.

2 All the little hands were made
Jesus’ precious cause to aid;
All the little hearts to beat
Warm in His service so sweet. [Refrain]

3 All the little lips should pray
To the Saviour, ev’ry day;
All the little feet should go
Swift on His errands below. [Refrain]

4 What your little hands can do,
That the Lord intends for you;
Make that thing your first delight,
Do it to Him with your might. [Refrain]
