GRATITUDE FOR RECOVERY.

I thank the Lord who lives on high,
He heard an infant pray,

And cured me that I should not die,
And took my pains away.

O let me love and serve thee too,
As long as I shall live ;

And every naughty thing I do,

I pray thee to forgive.

  
     
   
    
      
   
    
    
    

THE FRIEND YOU NEED.

Children, do you want a friend,
Ever faithful, ever true ;

One whose kindness knows no end,
One whose love can shelter you?

Jesus is the friend you need,

Jesus is a friend indeed.

None that sought his love’s embrace
Has he ever turned away ;
You may see his smiling face,
Gaze upon his charms to-day:
Ever faithful, ever true,
Jesus is the friend for you.
