But God can keep me by his care;
To him I’ll say this little pray’r:
“O God! from harm my body keep,
Both when I wake and when I sleep.”
LESSON II.
OF A MOTHER’S CARE.
I have told you about your little body. Was your body always as big as it is now?—No. Once it was very small indeed.
What were you called when your body was very small?—A baby.
Now you can take a little care of yourself, but then you could take no care at all. Can babies walk, or talk, or feed themselves, or dress themselves?—No.
But God sent you a person who took great care of you when you were a baby.
