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.
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.
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 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.
