A LITTLE CHILD'S HYMN
FOR NIGHT AND MORNING
Thou that once, on mother's knee,
Wast a little one like me,
When I wake or go to bed
Lay Thy hands about my head;
Let me feel Thee very near,
Jesus Christ, our Saviour dear.
Wast a little one like me,
When I wake or go to bed
Lay Thy hands about my head;
Let me feel Thee very near,
Jesus Christ, our Saviour dear.
Be beside me in the light,
Close by me through all the night;
Make me gentle, kind, and true,
Do what I am bid to do;
Help and cheer me when I fret,
And forgive when I forget.
Close by me through all the night;
Make me gentle, kind, and true,
Do what I am bid to do;
Help and cheer me when I fret,
And forgive when I forget.
Once wert Thou in cradle laid,
Baby bright in manger-shade,
By Thy blesséd Mother's care
Shelter'd warm from wintry air:
Now Thou art above the sky;
Canst thou hear a baby cry?
Baby bright in manger-shade,
By Thy blesséd Mother's care
Shelter'd warm from wintry air:
Now Thou art above the sky;
Canst thou hear a baby cry?
106
Thou art nearer when we pray,
Since Thou art so far away;
Thou my little hymn wilt hear,
Jesus Christ, our Saviour dear,
Thou that once, on mother's knee,
Wast a little one like me.
Since Thou art so far away;
Thou my little hymn wilt hear,
Jesus Christ, our Saviour dear,
Thou that once, on mother's knee,
Wast a little one like me.
