Oh, little Child, so Pure and Sweet

I have taken this from my cousin Betty's Diary, for 1972. 

Oh, little child, so pure and sweet...
So newly born to Life,
Within your tiny palm
God's world lies...shiny...bright.

You've yet to see a glowing star
Or hear the roaring sea,
You've yet to feel the kiss of snow
And watch the busy bee.

A kitten's fur against your cheek...
A puppy's wet caress.
The happy song of meadowlarks.
The flowers in summer dress. 

You've just begun to know the joy
Of loving hearts that care.
You've just begun to feel the warmth
Of arms that shield and share.

Oh, little child, how rich you are!
Your parents love you so!
They have brought you thus to Christ
That in his love you will grow!
