that the Lord has been good to us all the day
long. He has kept us from all harm, and given us food and clothes. We
should also thank him for a home and parents and friends. Even the air
we breathe comes from him.

Then in the morning we should again kneel down, and thank God for his
care through the night. The Lord loves to hear children pray.

After we pray, we should try hard to be good. The Lord will surely
help us if we ask him. Then, do not forget to pray.

Morning Praise

[Illustration]

Father dear, I humbly bow
By my little bedside now.
Thou hast kept me through the night,
Till the morning, clear and bright;
Thou hast given rest and sleep;
Thou dost e'er a vigil keep
Through the silent hours of night
While the stars and moon are bright.
Blessed Father, through the storm
Thou hast kept me from all harm;
And thy loving hand is near,
Guarding me from harm and fear.
Help me now, I ask of thee,
That my daily walk may be
Like a little Christian true,
In my words, and actions too;
Keep me from all harm again
As thou didst last night. Amen.

Evening Prayer

Father dear, I humbly bow
At thy feet and ask thee now:
Keep me through this dreary night,
Wake me with the morning's light;
Let no danger hover near,
Let no sorrow, sigh, or fear
Break my slumber; but on thee
Let my thoughts and dreamings be.
Father bless, and may I prove
That I've tasted of thy love.
Keep my tongue and let me talk
Of thy goodness. Help me walk
As a Christian every day;
Keep me ever true, I pray.
Let no harm or sickness come
Near our happy little home.
In thy hands my all I lay;
May I never from thee stray.
Keep me, Lord, I ask again.
Praise the blessed Lord! Amen.

Asking Blessing

O Lord, I bow
My little head
To thank thee for
My daily bread.
I pray thee bless
This daily food;
I pray thee bless
It to my good.

Oh, may my soul
This day be giv'n
The Bread of Life,
Sent down from heav'n.
Oh, keep me now
This day from sin,
From harm and sickness
Free. Amen.

Visit the Sick

Do you not know some one who is sick? Some little boy or girl may be
in bed with a fever, and would be so glad to see you
