Children's Hymns.

3 Teach us to prize thy holy word,

And to its truths attend;

Thus shall we learn to fear the Lord,
And love the children's Friend.

4 Lord! draw our youthful hearts to Thee; From every ill defend;

Help us in early life to flee

To Thee, the children's Friend.
5[Oh! may we taste of Jesu's love;
To Him our souls commend;
For Jesus left the realms above
To be the children's Friend.]
6 Let all our hopes be fix'd on high,
And, when our lives shall end,
Then may we live above the sky
With Thee, the children's Friend.

Bread cast upon the waters.

Ps. cxxvi, 5, 6.

Eccles. xi, 1.

1 UPON the stormy waters
The bread of life we cast,
With cheerful trust believing
It shall be found at last:
We see it but a moment,
Far drifting o'er the main;
But, deathless, undecaying,
It shall be found again.

Children's Hymns.

2 [One eye shall ever watch it-
The eye of Him, who sees
The smallest seedling scatterd
By summer's passing breeze;
That eye which sees the coral
As year by year it grows,
And counts the myriad crystals
Of never-melting snows.]

3 Sometimes with bitter weeping
The seed of life is sown,
With well-nigh hopeless pleading,
To Jesus only known:
With hope deferr'd, the mother
Oft looks upon her child;
No plant of heaven is springing
Where weeds grow rank and wild.

4 But on the stormy waters

We cast the bread of life;
Vain are the surging billows;
Vain is the tempest's strife:
His never-failing promise
Jehovah will fulfil;

And fruits of joy be gather'd

When those proud waves are still.

The Shepherd and his little flock.

1 Sam. i, 28. Isa. xl, 11.

1 SEE, Israel's gentle Shepherd stands
With all-engaging charms!

Hark! how He calls the tender lambs,
And folds them in his arms!

2 Permit them to approach, He cries,
Nor scorn their humble name;
For 'twas to bless such souls as these
The Lord of angels came.

3 We bring them, Lord! by fervent prayer,
And yield them up to Thee;
Joyful that we ourselves are thine,
Thine let our offspring be!

4 Ye little flock, with pleasure hear;
Ye children, seek his face;
And fly with transport to receive
The blessings of his grace.

5 If orphans they are left behind,
Thy guardian care we trust;

That care shall heal our bleeding hearts,
If weeping o'er their dust.

Afflicted saint, to Christ draw near..
Affliction is a stormy deep..
Again returns the day of holy rest.
Alas! and did my Saviour bleed
All hail the power of Jesu's name
All people that on earth do dwell.....
And let these feeble bodies fail..
And will the Judge descend...............
And wilt Thou still be found...
Angels, from the realms of glory..
Approach, my soul, the mercy seat..
Arm of the Lord, Awake, awake
Around the throne of God in heaven
A saint! oh! would that I could..
Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep.......
