THE HAPPY LAND. 1 THERE is a happy land, Where saints in glory stand, Bright, bright as day; O, how they sweetly sing: 2 Come to this happy land, Why will ye doubting stand, O, we shall happy be, When from sin and sorrow free; Lord, we shall live with Thee- 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, A SHORT PRAYER. A LITTLE lamb, O Lord, behold, 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, I never should forget this rule PRAISE TO GOD. 1 How glorious is our heavenly King, Who reigns above the sky! And how shall we presume to sing 2 How great His power is none can tell, 3 Not angels that stand round the Lord 4 Then let us join this holy train, FOR SUBMISSION AND STRENGTH. 1 Now that our journey's just begun, Our course so little trod, We'll stay before we further run, 2 What sorrows may our steps attend But if the Lord will be our Friend, 3 And, Lord, whatever grief or ill Make us submissive to Thy will, 4 Attend us through our youthful way, If spared till feeble, old, and grey, COME TO JESUS. 1 LITTLE children, come to Jesus. 2 He will take your hand and lead you THE FOLDED LAMB. 1 YES! there are little ones in heaven,- Jesus, Thy mercy, rich and free, 2 Those blessed children joyfully Went from this sad and sinful earth; They came to Christ; and may not we?— 3 To come with humbleness of mind, Oh! set our sin-born spirits free, 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, THE CHILD'S CONFESSION. 1 I AM but a little child, 2 Sin defiles me; but I know 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. |
