Morning by Anonymous

Dear Lord, another day has come,And through the hours of night,In a good bed and quiet homeI’ve slept till morning light.[Pg 019]Then let me give Thee thanks and praise,For Thou art very good;Oh, teach my little heart to raiseThe prayer that children should.Keep me this day from faults and sin,And make me good and mild;Thy Holy Spirit place within,Grant grace unto a child.Help me obey my parents dear,For they are very kind;And when the hour of rest draws near,Another prayer I’ll find.
