THE HAPPY LAND.

1 THERE is a happy land,
Far, far away,

Where saints in glory stand,
Bright, bright as day;

O, how they sweetly sing:
Worthy is our Saviour King;
Loud let His praises ring-
Praise, praise for aye.

2 Come to this happy land,
Come, come away;

Why will ye doubting stand,
Why still delay?

O, we shall happy be,

When from sin and sorrow free;

Lord, we shall live with Thee—
Blest, blest for aye.

FOR GRACE TO PRAY.

1 LORD JESUS, teach a child to pray, Who humbly kneels to Thee;

And every night, and every day,
My Friend and Saviour be.

2 Whilst here I live, oh! live with me; And when I'm call'd to die,

Take up my soul to dwell with Thee,
And sing Thy praise on high.

A SHORT PRAYER.

A LITTLE lamb, O Lord, behold,
And make me one of Jesus' fold;
And may I from this day begin
To love Thy ways, and flee from sin.

THE CHRISTIAN'S RULE.

1 To do to others as I would

That they should do to me, Will make me honest, kind, and good, As children ought to be.

2 Whether I am at home or school,
Or walking out abroad,

I never should forget this rule
Of Jesus Christ our Lord.

PRAISE TO GOD.

1 How glorious is our heavenly King, Who reigns above the sky!

And how shall we presume to sing
His dreadful majesty?

2 How

great His power is none can tell,
Nor think how large His grace;
Not men below, nor saints that dwell
On high before His face.

3 Not angels that stand round the Lord
Can search His secret will;
But they perform His heavenly word,
And sing His praises still.

4 Then let us join this holy train,
And our first off'rings bring;
Th' eternal God will not disdain
To hear us as we sing.

FOR SUBMISSION AND STRENGTH.

1 Now that our journey's just begun, Our course so little trod,

We'll stay before we further run,
And give ourselves to God.

2 What sorrows may our steps attend
We cannot now foretell;

But if the Lord will be our Friend,

We know that all is well.

3 And, Lord, whatever grief or ill
For us may be in store,
Make us submissive to Thy will,
And we would ask no more.

4 Attend us through our youthful way,
Whatever be our lot;

If spared till feeble, old, and grey,
Then, Lord, forsake us not.

COME TO JESUS.

1 LITTLE children, come to Jesus.
Jesus Christ has said you may;
When you try to pray, and praise Him,
He will teach you what to say.

2 He will take your hand and lead you
In the way you ought to go;
He will make you good and happy,
No one else can bless you so.

THE FOLDED LAMB.

1 YES! there are little ones in heaven,-
Babes such as we around the throne,
To whom the King of kings has given
A glory like His own.

Jesus, Thy mercy, rich and free,
Hath suffer'd them to come to Thee.

2 Those blessed children joyfully

Went from this sad and sinful earth;
How have their spirits soar'd so high
Above their humble birth?

They came to Christ; and may not we?—
Lord, suffer us to come to Thee.

3 To come with humbleness of mind,
With simple faith, and earnest prayer;
To seek Thy precious cross, and find
Joy from salvation there.

Oh! set our sin-born spirits free,
And suffer us to come to Thee.

4 To come while we are young,

While life, and joy, and hope run high; To come in sorrow's darkest day,

To come when death is nigh.

Oh! then, our Guide and Guardian be,
And suffer us to come to Thee.

THE CHILD'S CONFESSION.

1 I AM but a little child,
Very careless, very wild;
And my heart does oft rebel,
Yet I love my Saviour well.

2 Sin defiles me; but I know
He can wash me white as snow.
I shall live where angels dwell,
If I love my Saviour well.

3 Blessed Lord, from all alarms

Keep Thy lamb within Thine arms;

That my life and death may tell

That I love my Saviour well.
