Page 'Tis the voice of the sluggard; I hear him complain To do to others as I would Up the dale and down the bourne 67 29 62 31 214 282 27 273 Very little things are we 27 Watchman, tell us of the night We are the poor children's flowers 79 171 169 Whene'er I take my walks abroad 34 58 271 52 Who'll come and play with me here, under the tree? 87 Why should I deprive my neighbour 80 Will God, who made the earth and sea 20 "Will you walk into my parlour?" said the spider to the fly 77 Would you learn, my little children 44 You say I must be and do 89 68 GOD made the sky that looks so blue; He made the flowers that smell so sweet, God made the sun that shines so bright, It comes to give us heat and light: God made the pretty bird to fly; God made the cow to give nice milk; I'll treat them kindly for His sake, God made the water for my drink; He made the tree to bear nice fruit: Oh, how should I love Him! B FEAR OF THE DARK I WILL not fear, Through the dark night, And while I sleep, Safe watch will keep. When God is near? THE CHILD'S PRAYER. LORD, look down on me, Sinful though I be, Draw my heart to Thee. Teach me how to pray, Make me Thine own child, Lord, be Thou my Friend, In Thy faith and fear, Then, Lord, saved by grace, Then, from sin quite free, THE INFANT'S PRAYER. While here I live, give me Thy grace, GOD IS IN HEAVEN. GOD is in heaven! Can He hear Yes, thoughtful child, thou need'st not fear, God is in heaven! Can He see When I am doing wrong? Yes, that He can; He looks at thee God is in heaven! Would He know Yes, though thou saidst it very low, God is in heaven! Does He care, Or is He good to me? Yes, all thou hast to eat or wear 'Tis God that gives it thee. God is in heaven! Can I go To thank Him for His care? God is in heaven! May I pray Το go there when I die? Yes, seek His grace, and then, one day, He'll call thee to the sky. GOD WILL HEAR PRAYER. WILL God, who made the earth and sea, The night and shining day, Regard a little child like me, And listen when I pray? If I am hungry, poor, and cold? Yes, in His holy word we read And when His mercy most we need, To those who seek Him He is near; And from the humble and sincere He sees our thoughts, our wishes knows, He finds his Father there. Then fear not hunger, cold, or pain; But fear to disobey That God who does your life sustain, And guards you every day. |
