A Child's Prayer.

1Lord, teach a little child to pray,

And, O, accept my prayer;

Thou canst hear all the words I say,

For thou art everywhere.

2A little sparrow cannot fall

Unnoticed, Lord, by thee;

And though I am so young and small,

Thou dost take care of me.

3Teach me to do whate'er is right,

And, when I sin, forgive;

And make it still my chief delight

To serve thee while I live.
