1. Two little hands are sweetly folded Upon a silent breast: The little heart within has numbered Its throbs and gone to rest. * Refrain: Resting, resting, Oh, how sweet! Resting, resting, Sweetly resting. 2. Two little eyes are closed forever To earth's unholy sight, Two little cherub wings now hover In heaven's golden light. 3. Two little feet have ceased to travel Upon the shores of time; A little gem released from trouble Has gone above to shine. 4. Oh, what a comfort, dear Redeemer, Thy grace and love hath giv'n, That when life's winter day is ended, We'll meet our child in heav'n.
