What can little hands do?

[Kim G]

In our afternoon church service, we often take hymn requests from the congregation. Yesterday, the hymn "What Can Little Hands Do" was requested. I had never heard it before, but then the closest thing to a Reformed children's song that I know is "Father Abraham" . Anyone familiar with this song?

Oh, what can little hands do
To please the King of heaven?
The little hands some work may try
To help the poor in misery:
Such grace to mine be given!

Oh, what can little lips do
To please the King of heaven?
The little lips can praise and pray,
And gentle words of kindness say:
Such grace to mine be given!

Oh, what can little eyes do
To please the King of heaven?
The little eyes can upward look,
Can learn to read God's Holy Book:
Such grace to mine be given!

Oh, what can little hearts do
To please the King of heaven?
The hearts, if God His Spirit send,
Can love and trust their Savior-Friend:
Such grace to mine be given!

That is really very sweet.
