Analysis of Lullaby in the sweetest hand
Flying baby bird floating on air
Flopping fish friends swirling round in their
Fill me happy thoughts of multicoloured bears
Rainbows rise and fall over our prayers
Whispering softest winds glitter 'cross the stars
Soothed restfull hearts softly pattering
Lullaby in the sweetest hand
Held close upon babes newborn dream
Open blessed lights of the angels wings
God's softest words here for all to sing
