The morning bright The sun had risen, the air was sweet There is a path that leads to God. There's not a leaf within the bower. This is the day of glorious news . W. Whene'er I take my walks abroad While humble shepherds watch'd their flocks Y. NURSERY AND SCHOOL HYMNS. A CHILD'S PRAYER. 1 GENTLE Jesus, meek and mild, Suffer me to come to Thee. 2 Fain I would to Thee be brought, 3 O supply my every want, PRAYER FOR GRACE. 1 LORD, look upon a little child, 2 Make me Thy child, a child of God, 3 A star of early dawn, and bright, 4 Dear Jesus, take me to Thy breast, FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT. 1 LORD, teach a little child to pray; And grant Thy Holy Spirit may 2 A sinful creature I was born, 3 But Christ can all my sins forgive, 5 For all who early seek His face Jesus shall guide them, by His grace, PRAYER. 1 THE Lord attends when children pray, A whisper He can hear; He knows not only what we say, But what we wish or fear. 2 He sees us when we are alone, Though no one else can see; And all our thoughts to Him are known, 3 'Tis not enough to bend the knee, 4 Teach us, O Lord, to pray aright, That we in prayer may take delight, 5 Then, Heavenly Father! at Thy throne THE CHILD'S GOSPEL. 1 I THINK When I read that sweet story of old, How He call'd little children, as lambs to His fold, "Let the little ones come unto me." |
