Childhood's happy home, and other verses

by Lemuel Kayhart

If it be the will of Thine,

Watch and guard me, Lord, I pray,

Through the night as through the day;

Guard me, Lord, Thou knowest best,

While I lay me down to rest.

Now I lay me down to rest,

Parting friends my lips have pressed;

Farewell, kindred here below,

Jesus calls me, I must go.

Not my will but Thine be done;
