From a Mother's first soft lullaby
We sing and we weep but we know not why
That as son's of the earth from our first cry
We weep to show we are alive

He'll wipe away your tears
And a hand within my hand
The Lord who knows of tears so well
Must surely understand
He'll wipe away your tears
And still your restless sighs
And lovingly He'll listen 'til
You stop your wordless cries

And so when he returns again
To wake us from the sleep of sin
The Lord who now regards your cry
Will gently see each tear is dried

He'll wipe away your tears
And a hand within my hand
The Lord who knows of tears so well
Must surely understand
He'll wipe away your tears
And still your restless sighs
And lovingly he'll listen 'til
You stop your wordless cries
He'll wipe away your tears
And a hand within my hand
The Lord who knows of tears so well
Must surely understand
He'll wipe away your tears
And still you restless sighs
And lovingly he'll listen 'til
You stop your wordless cries
