LITTLE ONES AT HOME. 209

MORNING PRAYER OF A LITTLE CHILD.
Now I awake and see the light,
'T is God has kept me through the night ;
To him I lift my hands and pray
That he would keep me through the day ;
And if I die before ’t is done,
Great God, accept me through thy Son.

 

MORNING PRAYER.

I thank thee, Lord, for quiet rest,
And for thy care of me;

O let me through this day be blest,
And kept from harm by thee.

O take my naughty heart away,
And make me clean and good ;

Lord Jesus, save my soul, I pray,
And wash me in thy blood.

O let me love thee; kind thou art,
To children such as I: |
Give me a gentle, holy heart ;
Be thou my Friend on high.

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.
