A Morning Song.

(FROM THE GERMAN.)

I will sing aloud of Thy mercy in the morning.—Ps. 59: 16.

PRAISE the Lord! The sun of morning

Wakes the slumbering plains again;

All the earth to life returning

Lifts to God a joyful strain.

Praise the Lord! The dewy flowers

Bloom the praises of the King;

Heights, and fields, and leafy bowers

King with gladdest carolling.

Praise the Lord! From hills and mountains

Sounds aloud the thankful lay;

Stir, my soul, thy nobler fountains,

Bless the Lord for new-born day.

An Evening Song.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.

Have ye never read, Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings Thou hast perfected praise?—MATT. 21: 16.

Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.—MATT. 18: 14.

HOLY Jesus! Here I bow,

Hear the prayers I offer now;

By Thy mercy meek and mild,

Listen to Thy little child.

Gracious Saviour! Be my Guide,

Keep me
