  1. A Child's Evening Prayer

    Share Share Post
    April 29th, 1938
    Ere on my bed my limbs I lay
    God help me well my prayers to say
    O God! preserve my mother dear
    In strength and health for many a year.
    2.
    And O! preserve my father, too,
    And may I pay him reverence due
    And may I best thoughts employ
    To be my parents' hope and joy
    3.
    And O ! preserve my brothers both
    From evil doings and from sloth
    And may we always love each other both
    IV
    And still O Lord to me impart
    An innocent and grateful heart
    That after my best sleep I may
    Awake to Thy Eternal Day
    Amen
