Be music, night Be music, night, That her sleep may go Where angels have their pale tall choirs Be a hand, sea, That her dreams may watch Thy guides man touching the green flesh of the world Be a voice, sky, That her beauties may be counted And the stars will tilt their quiet faces Into the mirror of her loveliness Be a road, earth, That her walking may take thee Where the towns of heaven lift their breathing spires O be a world and a throne, God, That her living may find its weather And the souls of ancient bells in a child's book Shall lead her into Thy wondrous house

Love that boy Love that boy, like a rabbit loves to run I said I love that boy like a rabbit loves to run Love to call him in the morning love to call him "Hey there, son!" He walk like his Grandpa, Grins like his Uncle Ben. I said he walk like his Grandpa, And grins like his Uncle Ben. Grins when he’s happy, When he sad, he grins again. His mama like to hold him, Like to feed him cherry pie. I said his mama like to hold him. Like to feed him that cherry pie. She can have him now, I’ll get him by and by He got long roads to walk down Before the setting sun. I said he got a long, long road to walk down Before the setting sun. He’ll be a long stride walker, And a good man before he done
