A Child of Mine

I'll lend you for a little time, a child of mine, Christ said.
For you to love the while she lives,
and mourn for when she's dead.
It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three,
But will you, 'til I call her back, take care of her for me?

She'll bring her charms to gladden you,
and should her stay be brief
You'll have her lovely memories of solace in your grief.
I cannot promise she will stay since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn

I looked the wild world over, in search of teachers true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lane,
I have selected you.
Now will you give her all your love,
not think the labor vain--
Nor hate Me when I come to you
and take her home again.

I fancied that I heard them say,
"Dear Lord, Thy will be done."
For all the many joys she'll bring, the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter her with tenderness
and love her while we may,
And for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for her
much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
and try to understand.
