MORNING HYMNS.

1 DEAR Jesus, thou hast safely kept
Me through the hours of night;
And by thy care I've soundly slept
Until the morning light.

2 How very good and kind Thou art
To such a little thing;
I want a loving thankful heart,
Thy praises, Lord, to sing.

3 Lord Jesus, let me come to Thee,
To learn to praise and pray;
O make me what I ought to be,
My God, this very day.

4 By nature I am vain and proud,
And passionate and wild;

Lord, wash me in Thy precious blood,

And take me for Thy child.

1 I THANK Thee, Lord, for quiet rest
And for Thy care of me :

Oh! let me through this day be blest,
And kept from harm by Thee.

2 Oh, let me love Thee! Kind thou art To children such as I;

Give me a gentle, holy heart;
Be Thou my Friend on high.

3 Help me to please my parents dear,
And do whate'er they tell;

Bless all my friends both far and near,
And keep them safe and well.

1 Now the night is past away,
Now returns the cheerful day;
And my little voice I'll raise
To my God in prayer and praise.

2 By His care I have been kept
Through the darkness while I slept ;
"Tis His sun that shines so bright,
Bringing back the morning light.
3 All the comforts of my home
From my Heavenly Father come;
"Tis through Him that I possess
Health, and strength, and happiness.

+ While I count Thy mercies o'er,
Help me, Lord, to love Thee more;
Teach me by Thy Spirit still

How to do Thy holy will.

1 THE darkness is over, the sun is on high,
The lark is up singing his song in the sky;
The cattle and labourers all are abroad,
And everything serving and praising its God.
2 I will not lie sleeping my morning away,
But try to be busy and useful as they;

I'll rise with the skylark, and join in his song,
And thank God for watching me all the night long.

3 How kind He is to me, how great, and how good! I wish I could serve Him as well as I should: Lord help me, then, daily my duty to know, And I do better the older I grow. may

1 THE morning bright,

With rosy light,

Has waked me from my sleep;

Father, I own

Thy love alone

Thy little one doth keep.

2 All through the day, I humbly pray,

Be Thou my Guard and Guide, My sins forgive,

And let me live,

Blest Jesus, near Thy side.

3 O make Thy rest

Within my breast,

Great Spirit of all grace;
Make me like Thee,
Then shall I be

Prepared to see Thy face.

EVENING HYMNS.

1 JESUS, tender Shepherd, hear me !
Bless thy little lamb to-night;
Through the darkness be Thou near me
Watch my sleep till morning light.

2 All this day Thy hand has led me,
And I thank Thee for Thy care;
Thou hast clothed me, warm'd me, fed me,
Listen to my evening prayer.

3 Let my sins be all forgiven;

Bless the friends I love so well; Take me, when I die, to heaven, Happy there with thee to dwell.

1 THROUGH the day Thy love hath spared us, Wearied we lie down to rest; Through the silent watches guard us,

Let no foe our peace molest; Jesus, Thou our guardian be, Sweet it is to trust in Thee.
