THE DYING CHILD.
Reading edition
Why do you weep? I am falling asleep, And Jesus my Shepherd, Is watching his sheep; His arm is beneath me, His eye is above; His Spirit within me Says, "Rest in my love: With blood I have bought thee, And wash'd thee from sin; With care I have brought thee My fold to be in; Refresh'd by still waters, In green pastures fed, Thy day has gone by— I am making thy bed."
