Now my mother’s Christ I bless. [Refrain]

That my mother knew so well. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Though I wandered from the precepts]

They Didn’t Think
Author: Phoebe Cary Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Once a trap was baited with a dainty piece of cheese Lyrics: 1 Once a trap was baited with a dainty piece of cheese;
It tickled so a little mouse it almost made him sneeze.
An old mouse said, “there’s danger; be careful where you go.”
“Oh, nonsense,” said the mousey, “I don’t think you know.”
So he walked in boldly—nobody was in sight;
First he took a nibble, then he took a bite;
Close the trap together snapped as quick as you could wink,
Catching mousey fast there “because he didn’t think.”
2 Once there was a robin lived outside the kitchen door,
Who wanted so to go inside and hop upon the floor;
“Oh, no,” said robin’s mother, “I wish you’d stay with me;
For little birds are safest sitting in a tree.”
“I don’t care,” said robin, and gave his tail a fling;
“I don’t think the old folks know quite everything.”
Down he flew, the cat caught him before he’d time to blink;
“Oh,” he cried, “I’m sorry, but then, I didn’t think.”
3 Now, my little children, you who sing this little song,
Oh, don’t you see what trouble comes from simply doing wrong?
And can’t you take a warning from mouse and robin’s fate?
For they began their thinking when it was too late.
Think not all is safety, although no danger shows;
Thinking you know more than anybody knows;
But when warned of ruin, always pause upon the brink;
Don’t go over headlong “because you didn’t think.” Used With Tune: [Once a trap was baited with a dainty piece of cheese]

He’s Counting On You
My Life is Full of Glory
Author: Rev. A. H. Ackley Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: My life is full of glory, each duty from above Lyrics: 1 My life is full of glory, each duty from above,
He gives me from His storehouse of everlasting love;
I fear not when He bids me go and with my mouth confess,
For I am trusting not in self,
But in His righteousness.
Chorus:
My life is full of glory,
That passeth not away,
The sunshine of His precious love,
Grows brighter day by day;
My soul shall ever own Him,
My heart shall ever sing,
For all is full of Glory,
Since Jesus is my King.
2 My life is full of glory, since Jesus came to me,
And now I tell the story of grace so full and free;
For in each trial He comforts me, in sorrow and in woe,
He walks beside me in the way
That He would have me go. [Refrain]
3 My life is full of glory, and Jesus longs to be,
An everlasting portion, to you as well as me;
He bids you rise and follow Him, from sorrow unto joy,
And thou shalt find a blessedness
Which nothing can destroy. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [My life is full of glory, each duty from above]

My King Rides Forth
Author: H. L. Frisbie Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Hear the trumpet sounding; Forward, march Refrain First Line: The King rides forth! the tidings speed Lyrics: 1 Hear the trumpet sounding; Forward, march!
Swing into battle line;
Onward soldiers of the “King of kings,”
Led by a hand divine;
To the conflict go, be not dismayed,
The Cross our conq’ring sign;
Victory, victory
Our King rides forth today.
Refrain:
The King rides forth! the tidings speed;
For loyal hearts there’s urgent need;
Rally to His standard He will lead to victory!
The battle will be fierce and long,
Yet right shall overcome the wrong,
A little while, the victor’s song,
And shouts of jubilee!
2 Hark! the roll is calling; quickly say,
“Her, Lord, am I, use me;
For Thy service I am ready now,
Wherever pleaseth Thee;
Where the battle rages I will go,
And this my glory be;
Victory, victory
I ride with Thee today. [Refrain]
3 Though a mighty foe defiance hurls,
Our King hath greater might;
If we follow Him with courage bold,
We cannot lose the fight;
Leading on an overcoming host,
All clad in armor bright;
Victory, victory
Our King rides forth today. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Hear the trumpet sounding; Forward, march]

The Silly Little Duck
Author: Ida M. Budd Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: A downy little duckling Refrain First Line: O silly little duckling Lyrics: 1 A downy little duckling
Went waddling off one day;
He didn’t like the other ducks;
With them he would not play;
He was too independent, too,
To stay with them, he said;
He thought it vastly pleasanter
To go alone instead.
Refrain:
O silly little duckling!
To pout will never pay;
I wonder if small boys and girls
Would ever act that way?
2 The other little ducklings
Looked at him ruefully,
And felt quite grieved to see him walk
Away so scornfully.
“Quack! quack!” they said, as if to make
Amends for all their lack;
But he had grown so dignified
He wouldn’t even quack. [Refrain]
3 The water in the duck-pond
Looked cool and nice to him;
The morning was so very fine,
He thought he’d take a swim;
So, in he plunged, but to himself
Soon said that he must own
That it was very tame indeed
To swim around alone. [Refrain]
4 He caught great big June-bug,
As fat as fat could be;
But then it wasn’t any fun
With no one there to see;
He wished the other ducks would come,
As oft they had in play,
And chase him round, and round, and round,
To get the bug away. [Refrain]
5 And then this lonely duckling,
What did he, do you think?
He took that bug and waddled back
Most quick as you could wink;
And when the ducks came up and tried
To take that bug away,
He thought it was the greatest fun
He’d had for many a day. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [A downy little duckling]
