A CHILD'S PRAYER
At night I kneel by mother's knee,
To thank God for His care;
I thank Him for all good gifts,
That made the day so fair.
I thank Him for the night-time,
For stars and moonlight, too;
I thank Him for my parents,
And friends so kind and true.
Then I say, "Now I lay me down
To sleep" all through the night;
And ask Him to watch over me,
Till morning brings its light.
