A-men.

[Alternative Tunes Nos. 27, 139.]

AND now the daily work is o'er,

The daily round of toil complete,
And once again we stand, O Lord,

Before Thy gracious Mercy-seat;
Blest Saviour, teach us day by day
In Thy dear Name to work and play.
Thou too wast once a child on earth,
And subject to Thy parents' will,
Thy mother knew Thee as her GOD,
And yet Thou wast obedient still;
Blest Saviour, teach us day by day,
Like Thee to love and to obey.

No sinful word was ever known

To cross Thy lips, Thou Child Divine,
No thought unholy ever came

To darken that pure Heart of Thine;
Blest Saviour, teach us day by day,
To follow in the narrow way.

The learned doctors were amazed

To hear the answers Thou didst make,
And dimly guessed that here was One

Who spake as never man yet spake ;
Blest Saviour, teach us every day,
And shed on us Thy wisdom's ray

The pattern of our childhood Thou,
Dear LORD, we fain would look to Thee,
And looking, learn in daily life

What Christian childhood ought to be;
Blest Saviour, teach us day by day,

And make us more like Thee, we pray. Amen.
