Embrace
By; Gary L. S. West


In my arms, my child
Close thy eyes
In my arms, dear child
Find thy rest
For no matter how the beasts may howl
Or how their teeth may glisten sharp
They'll not harm you, child
In my arms

Darkness wanes, my child
At daybreak
Darkness wanes, dear child
For 'tis time
And shadows crawl away toward the west
As by love the blue skies are warmed
And thou hast hope, my child
In my arms

As you live, my child
Keep thy heart
As you live, dear child
Have no fear
Never without me will you walk
And I shall bear you if you fall
Take heart and strength, child
In my arms

Faith thy eyes, my child
And grace thy steps
Faith thy eyes, dear child
Steady stride
For thy faith will be a stepping stone
For future children yet to come
They too are safe, child
In my arms
