The dear God and creator of the smallest worm is near Lyrics

The dear God and creator of the smallest worm is near

He gives birth to birds and clothes the lily of the field

However the children of men are dearest to Him

God breathes on the eye when it cries

Now the little flowers look at each other

The cheerful birds call to each other

Now all the children of the earth open their eyes

Now the snail with a house on its back will walk

The Son of God was himself a child and on a manger straw he lay

His cradle stood on the ground beside the path

He has promised the joy of God's heavenly kingdom to the little ones

And flowers from the meadows of paradise

The Son of God loves us so much He is the great friend of children

He carries the child up to God in his arms

He subdued storm and sea when He walked on earth

But the children played at His bosom

Now the little flowers look at each other

The cheerful birds call to each other

Now all the children of the earth open their eyes

Now the snail with a house on its back will walk

O you who blessed us and embraced the little ones

One morning we will see you in paradise!

You taught us to open our eyes to God

forever be praised!

Now the lovely little flowers look at each other

The cheerful birds call to each other

Now all the children of the earth open their eyes

Now the snail with a house on its back will wander
