A Child's Prayer
God make my life a little light, Within the world to glow— A tiny flame that burneth bright, Wherever I may go. God make my life a little flower, 5 That bringeth joy to all, Content to bloom in native bower, Although its place be small. God make my life a little song, That comforteth the sad, 10 That helpeth others to be strong, And makes the singer glad.
