WHO, TOO YOUNG TO READ, SITS ON MY KNEE AND LISTENS WITH EAGER ATTENTION TO SIMPLE SONGS;" AND TO " LITTLE DARLINGS" IN EVERY HOME THROUGHOUT THE LAND, THOU wakest from rosy sleep to play Thou hast no heavy thought or dream (7) Let ere the cares of life lie dim On thy young spirit's wings, Now in thy morn forget not him From whom each pure thought springs: So in the onward vale of tears, When strength hath bowed to evil years, He will remember thee. Hemans. MORNING PRAYER. GREAT God, who dwells in heaven above, I humbly kneel to thee, To thank thee for the care and love Which thou dost show to me. When in the early morn I rise From thy commands so good and wise, Let not my footsteps stray. And bless my parents, good and dear, Teach me to grateful be, For all the kind and watchful care They lavish upon me. |
