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 ocean
God bless the boats in the bay
Tied to the docks in the harbour
Anchored to the rocks under the waves
God won't you bless her precious face

God bless the books of coloured paper
God bless the links of paper chain
Tattered and torn under pressure
Useless in binding the flames
God won't you bless her precious name
