A Child's Prayer
God, make my life a little light,
Within the world to glow:
A little flame that burneth bright,
Wherever I may go.
God, make my life a little flower,
That giveth joy to all,
Content to bloom in native bower,
Although the place be small.
God, make my life a little song,
That comforteth the sad,
That helpeth others to be strong,
And makes the singer glad.
--M. Edwards
Father, We Thank Thee
For flowers that bloom about our feet,
Father, we thank Thee,
For tender grass so fresh and sweet,
Father, we thank Thee,
For the song of bird and hum of bee,
For all the things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.
For the blue of stream and blue of sky,
Father, we thank Thee,
For pleasant shade of branches high,
Father, we thank Thee,
For fragrant air and cooling breeze,
For beauty of the blooming trees,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.
For this new morning with its light,
Father, we thank Thee,
For rest and shelter of the night,
Father, we thank Thee,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson
Good Night Prayer
Father, unto Thee I pray,
Thou hast guarded me all day;
Safe I am while in Thy sight,
Safely let me sleep tonight.
Bless my friends, the whole world bless;
Help me to learn helpfulness;
Keep me ever in Thy sight;
So to all I say good night.
--Henry Johnstone
