SONGS FOR THE

But better still, I learn that God
Made all things that I see ;

He made the earth, he made the sky,
And he made you and me.

 

I WILL BE GOOD TO-DAY.

I will be good, dear mother,”
[ heard a sweet child say; _

“JT will be good; now watch me—

  

 

I will be good all day.”

She lifted up her bright young eyes,
With a soft and pleasing smile ;
Then a mother’s kiss was on her lips,

So pure and free from ouile.

And when night came, that little one,
In kneeling down to pray,
Said, in a soft and whispering tone,
“ Have I been good to-day ?”

Oh, many, many bitter tears

T would save us, did we say,
Like that dear child, with earnest heart,
«T will be good to-day.”
