1 A gentle hand unseen by us
Has plucked our tender bud;
By this alone our grief is blest—
It was the hand of God.
Refrain:
O gentle one, we miss thee here,
Sweet form we love so well;
But in our Father’s better care,
We know the child is well.
2 In all our hearts He planted deep
This precious little one;
As forth He takes His own, we weep,
But say, “Thy will be done.” [Refrain]
3 No care was lavished here in vain
Upon this plant of love;
Though soon removed, ’twill bloom again
In sweeter form above. [Refrain]
4 Would not our grief forever flow
Upon thy silent tomb,
Did not our hearts this comfort know—
We soon to thee shall come. [Refrain]
5 Dear Jesus, Thou hast died for us,
And for our darling, too;
We trust Thee in each providence,
Thy love is ever true. [Refrain]
