II. The Child's Resolution.

Help me my God! For unto thee
I do Resolve to Pray,
To Grant thy Christ and Grace to me;
I'll do it every Day.

Heavenly Father, Give me thy Christ;
Give me thy Spirit; Pardon my Sins;
Make me thy Servant; Bring me to thy
Kingdom; O Great GOD, who art Father,
and Son, and Holy Spirit; I Desire to be
Thine for evermore. Amen.
