Child's Prayer

Author: Mrs. Mary B. Clark Hymnal: Good Will #108 (1882) First Line: By her cot at hush of eve Lyrics: 1 By her cot at hush of eve, Knelt a little spotless one, Golden curls adown her neck, Radiant as the setting sun; Meekly clasp’d her dimpled hands, And her upturn’d brow was fair, Where her softly parted lips Whispers out a childish pray’r. 2 Holy Father, hear my cry, To thy little child draw nigh; I am weak, but thou art strong, Keep me ever from the wrong; Teach me always what is right, Guard me thro’ the long, dark night; All my many faults forgive, Let me sometime with thee live. 3 Thron’d in glory and in light, High the heav’n of heav’ns above; Reigning o’er ten-thousand worlds, Dwelt the mighty Lord of love; Music soft around him swept, Golden harp and seraph lyre, Endless hallelujahs, breath’d Forth by heav’ns rejoicing choir. 4 Sure the pray’r of childhood store Softly to the heart of hearts, Blending with the music’s spell Which the cherub psalm imparts; Guileless, pleading, trustful, pure, Holy incense unto heaven; Richer gift than angels bring, Lo! a little child hath given.
