214 SONGS FOR THE

Before in sleep 1 close my ey®s;

These things 1 must remember thrice:

If I’ve done ill, then 1 must pray

That God would wash my sins away,
And for the merits of his Son,

Forgive the evil I have done;

Then, pardoned daily, filled with love,
L’ll be prepared to dwell above,

And there, with angels round the throne,
The love of God for ever own.

 

INFANT’S PRAYER.

Jesus, Saviour, Son of God,

Who for me life’s pathway trod,
Who for me became a child,
Make me humble, meek, and mild.

I thy little lamb would be ;
Jesus, 1 would follow thee :
Samuel was thy child of old,
Take me, too, within thy fold.

 

PRAYER FOR A LITTLE CHILD.
£ Gentle Jesus, meek and mild,
Look upon a little child ;
Pity my simplicity,
Quffer me to come to thee.
