by the hand of God above
to give the world the sweetest touch
of tenderness and love.
With the softness of a whisper,
God made baby Jacob's skin
and then designed two trusting eyes
to put the starlight in.
With giggles like a waterfall
and breezes passing by,
God made this baby's laughter
to hear forever after.
God gave the world a precious gift
more dear and pure than gold,
with little toes to play with
and tiny hands to hold
then brought into the sunshine
a precious baby boy.
