Two Little Hands

Verse 1

Two little hands are sweetly folded Upon a silent breast: The little heart within has numbered Its throbs and gone to rest.

Chorus

Resting, resting, Oh, how sweet! Resting, resting, Sweetly resting.

Verse 2

Two little eyes are closed forever To earth’s unholy sight, Two little cherub wings now hover In heaven’s golden light.

Verse 3

Two little feet have ceased to travel Upon the shores of time; A little gem released from trouble Has gone above to shine.

Verse 4

Oh, what a comfort, dear Redeemer, Thy grace and love hath giv’n, That when life’s winter day is ended, We’ll meet our child in heav’n.
