The words were written by Immi Hellén (18611937). The song is often sung at a christening or a funeral of a child, but we sung it at the funeral of my grandmother, who was 100 years when she died, because she always maintained a certain innocence of a child an because we thought the words were fitting (so long is the journey...) I'll try to translate them.
Thank you so much for sharing this vid, though it almost ripped my heart apart. There was a 10 year period in my life, during wich I wasn't able to listen to this tune.. Because it reminded me (and it still does) about my beloved cousin, who died accidentally at the age of 8. And for so many years I blamed myself for his death.. :'-[

Kiitos!
I always wanted the history and lyrics of this music. Is it about children passing through the forest?

Through the wilds of the earth runs the road of the little child
A marvellous angel is taking him/her home.
So long is the journey, the home cant be seen,
but the marvellous angel walks beside.
The wilds are dark and the road is stony,
and often it might even be slippery to walk.
Oh, soon could the little child fall,
if the hand wouldnt be in the hand of the angel.

And the sin has spread black nets
widely in the wilds of the earth.
So soon could one get entangled in them,
if the hand wouldnt be in the hand of the angel.
Through the wilds of the earth runs the road of the little child
A marvellous angel is taking him/her home.
Oh child, please tell you never could take your hand
away from the angels hand.

Esta musica foi tocada por mim usando Kantele, um instrumento musical da Finlandia.
Tenho partiture para Kantele, o que pode ser adaptada para lira tambem.
Se voce me da seu e-mail endereco, lhe mandarei em PDF.
