A gentle but precise rhythmic pulse from the piano supports this sweet setting of Mother's New Year Gift to the Little Children, from “Poems” in Mary Baker Eddy’s Miscellaneous Writings.
The result is a soothing lullaby that soars “up to Thee”. Simple and easy to sing, a small, sparkly gem.

Lyrics

To the Children*

by Mary Baker Eddy
From “Poems” in Miscellaneous Writings

music by Ann Stephan

Father-Mother God,
Loving me, —
Guard me when I sleep;
Guide my little feet
Up to Thee.

Father-Mother good, lovingly
Thee I seek, —
Patient, meek, In the way
Thou hast, —
Be it slow or fast,
Up to Thee.

*complete original title: Mother’s New Year Gift to the Little Children
