God bless the birds in the morning 
God bless the birds in the night 
Chasing after mice in the garden 
Hiding their homes away from the light 
God won't you bless her precious eyes

He said he'd never go back again 
Is this not in his hands 
Is this what the saints call 
Providence 
Or divine intervention

God bless the boats in the bay

Anchored to the rocks under the waves 
God won't you bless her precious face

God bless the links of paper chain

Useless in binding the flames 
God won't you bless her precious name
