Tell me, Mother, tell me whyWhy do the birds stay in the sky?And why are grown-up people tall,

While Jean and John and I are small?Why does the rain fall?

Why does the moon shine?Why do the clouds move?

And why does the wind whine?

Why does it get dark?Why is a puddle wet?

Why is the snow white?And why does the sun set?

Why does the baby cry?

Why do I yawn?Why do I sleep at night

And wake up with the dawn?Little child, Ill tell you why:

God wills all these things to be.

He made the earth and sea and sky,Just as He made you and me.

-Sue Val

CRADLE HYMNIsaac Watts

Hush my dear, lie still andslumber,

holy angels guard thy bed,Heavenly blessings without

number,gently falling on thy head.

Sleep my babe, thy food andraiment

house and home thy friendsprovide,

All without your care orpayment,

all your wants are well supplied


28/36

How much better you areattended,

than the Son of God could be,When from heaven he

descended,and became a child like thee.

Soft and easy is your cradle,Coarse and hard your Saviour

lay,When his birthplace was a

stable,and his softest bed was hay.

Blessed Babe! What gloriousfeatures

spotless fair, divinely bright!Must he dwell with brutal

creatures,how could angels bear the sight!

Was there nothing but a

manger,cursed sinners could afford,

To receive the heavenlystranger;

did they thus affront their Lord.

Soft my child I did not chidethee,

though my song may sound toohard;Tis your mother sits beside

thee,and her arms shall be thy guard.

Yet to read the shameful story,How the Jews abused their King,

How they served the Lord ofglory,

makes me angry while I sing.

See the kinder shepherds roundhim,

telling wonders from the sky;There they sought him,

there they found him,with his Virgin Mother by.

See the lovely Babe a dressing;lovely infant how he smiled!When he wept, the Mothers

blessingsoothed and hushed the holy

child.

Lo! he slumbers in his manger,where the horned oxen fed;Peace my darling heres no

danger

heres no oxen near your bed.

Twas to save you, child fromdying,

save my dear from burningflame,

Bitter groans and endlesscrying,

that your blest Redeemer came

Mayest you live to know andfear him,

trust and love him all your daysThen go dwell forever near himsee his face and sing his praise


29/36

I could give you thousandkisses,

hoping what I most desire:

Not a mothers fondest wishes,can to greater joys aspire.
