THE HEAVENLY HOME. 1 I HAVE a dear and happy home, There sin and sorrow cannot come, 2 No angry passions there are felt, Within that happy home. They praise with joy the Saviour's name, His glorious likeness bear; For all are holy there. 3 Lord, make me now a holy child, My sinful soul renew; For Thou didst shed Thy precious blood, That I might enter too. Then when my work on earth is done, A place for me prepare ; And take me to that happy home, To dwell for ever there. FOR HOLINESS. 1 HEAVENLY Father! look on me, And there's nothing in me good; I cannot do the things I would. 3 Often I'm an idle child, And will not learn what I am taught; Or I'm passionate and wild, And indulge some angry thought. 4 Though I know that Jesus died To save my sinful soul from hell, I cannot love and serve Him well. Make me holy as Thou art. And when this short life is o'er, TO JESUS. 1 BLESSED Jesus! wilt Thou hear us, Little children though we be?

BE you to others kind and true, GOD CARES FOR ALL. 1 WHO taught the bird to build her nest Of softest wool, and hay, and moss? Who taught her how to weave it best, And lay the tiny twigs across? 2 Who taught the busy bee to fly Providing food for winter hours? 3 Who taught the little ant the way 4 "Twas God who taught them all the way, GOD OUR CREATOR. 1 OUR God is good, and He is great, 2 The mountains and the rocks He made, He pour'd the water in the seas, He made the grass, the herbs, the trees: |
