A CHILD'S PRAYER.
Reading edition
SUITABLE FOR THE NEW YEAR.
Oh, blessed Jesus, care for me, And wash me in Thy blood; Teach me to ever look to Thee, And help me to be good. Give me Thy Holy Spirit, Lord, And teach me how to pray; Oh, let me understand Thy Word, And take my sins away. Whene'er I'm tempted to do wrong, Oh, let me think of Thee; Help me to always guard my tongue, When naughty I would be. Teach me to tread the narrow way, Which all Thy saints have trod; And guard and guide me every day; Be Thou my Lord and God. Help me to trust in Thee alone, And not have fear of men; To seek Thy will before my own, For Jesus' sake. Amen. Jane Bell (Aged 14 years). Sleaford.
