LITTLE FOLDED HANDS

Prayers for Children

Compiled from Various Sources

Revised Edition

Morning Prayers.

That Thou wilt keep me through the day.
If I should die before 'tis done,

Take me to Thyself at last. Amen.

7.

In the early morning,
With the sun's first rays.
All God's little children
Thank and pray and praise.

I, too, thanks would offer,
Jesus, Shepherd dear,
For Thy tender pasture,
For Thy guiding care.

And I would implo
