[graphic][subsumed][subsumed]

Quiet Lord, my froward heart,
Make me teachable and mild,
Upright, simple, free from art,
Make me as a weaned child:
From distrust and envy free,
Pleas'd with all that pleases thee.

What thou shalt to-day provide,
Let me as a child receive;
What to-morrow may betide,
Calmly to thy wisdom leave:

'Tis enough that thou wilt care,
Why should I the burden bear?

As a little child relies

On a care beyond his own;

Knows he's neither strong nor wise;
Fears to stir a step alone.

Let me thus with thee abide,
As my Father, Guard, and Guide.

Thus preserv'd from Satan's wiles,
Safe from dangers, free from fears,
May I live upon thy smiles,
Till the promised hour appears,
When the sons of God shall prove
All their Father's boundless love.

THE

HONEYSUCKLE,

&c.

Children coming to Christ,

As infants once to Christ were brought,
That he might bless them there;
So now, we little children ought
To seek the same by pray'r.

For when their feeble hands were spread,
And bent each infant knee,
"Forbid them not," the Saviour said,
And so he says for me.

Though now he is not here below,

But on his heav'nly hill;

To him may little children go,

And seek a blessing still.
