God Gave Us an Angel
God gave us a daughter,
So lovely and fair;
Blue were her eyes,
Spun gold was her hair.
A small bundle of joy
More precious than gold,
Yes, God gave us an angel,
We could love but not hold.
He took her to heaven
To be with Him there,
But all of the heartaches
He helps us to share.
At times we feel lonely
And sometimes we weep,
For the littlest angel,
We could love but not keep.
All through the heartaches
And all through the pain,
We thank God for His kindness,
His blessing, our gain;
For one day in heaven,
In our new home, we're told,
He will give us our angel,
To love AND to hold.
