Do the Angels Rock the Babies

Do the Angels Rock the Babies?

Do the Angels rock the Babies?
Oh, please tell me it is so.
When they're carried through the Cosmos;
To the place where Spirits go.

Do they sing with Angel sweetness;
A Blessed lullaby?
Do they hold them oh so gently;
And rock them when they cry?

I have often paused to ponder;
Through the long dark passing years.
Does God know that we remember?
Does He see a Mother's tears?

Do the Angels rock the Babies?
Do they kiss and hold them close?
Are they gentle care-providers?
These awesome Heavenly Host.

I know my God is able;
And I know He values man.
He will honor your endeavor;
When you do the best you can.

God's son was once a baby;
He was Bethlehem's precious child.
Our Savior once wore nappies;
Though I know the concept's wild.

There was a time in Heaven;
When the Angels must have cried.
When God gave His only son,
And for us He died.

Do the Angels rock the Babies?
Yes, I think they understand.
The pain and grief we suffer;
And how our God values man.
