1 O, make me a very good child,
My Father in heaven, I ask;
Ne'er let me be careless or wild,
Or consider my lessons a task.
I'll do what my teachers direct--
My gratitude show for their care,
By treating their rules with respect,
And walking each day in thy fear.
Virginia Woods, married John Paul Morgan in 1866. Known as Mrs. John P. Morgan. Translated several songs from German and Norwegian.
