Tom Francis In His Fathers Arms song lyrics

He was the youngest anf purest branch to grow from this tree, the flow from this sea

He was't there to stay, he was carried away, in his father's arms

He closed his eyes and he looked to the skies, with an open heart and an open soul

He was lost in prayer in the moonlight up there, when he stepped right out

Into his father's arms

He was carried home on those shoulders so wide

And he was finally sewn by his mother's side

Now under the light of Carmel he lies

They gathered round his fading earthly flame

And now Carmel calls his name

He said would that my life could be a sacrifice to the ones

Who circle round this place

He was carried home on those shoulders so wide

And he was finally sown by his mother's side

Now under the light of Carmel he lies
