LITTLE ONES AT HOME. 235

GOD HEARS CHILDREN’S PRAYERS.

God is so good that he will hear,
Whenever children humbly pray ;
He always lends a gracious ear
To what the youngest child can say.

His own most holy book declares
He loves good little children still,

And that he listens te their prayers
Just as a tender father will.

He loves to hear an infant tongue
Thank him for all his mercies given ;
And when by babes his praise is sung,
Their cheerful songs are heard in heaven.

Come then, dear children, trust his word,
And seek him for your friend and guide ;
Your little voices shall be heard,
And you will never be denied.

 

PREPARING FOR THE SABBATH.

Haste! put your playthings all away,
To morrow is the Sabbath-day :
Come, bring to me your Noah’s ark,
Your pretty tinkling music cart ;
Because, my love, you must not play,
But holy keep the Sabbath-day.
