Now the light has gone away

Appears in 64 hymnals Topics: Hymns for Little Children Lyrics: 1 Now the light has gone away, Saviour, listen while I pray, Asking Thee to watch and keep, And to send me quiet sleep. 2 Jesus, Saviour, wash away, All that has been wrong to-day; Help me every day to be Good and gentle, more like Thee. 3 Let my near and dear ones be, Always near and dear to Thee; O bring me and all I love To Thy happy Home above. 4 Now my evening praise I give; Thou didst die that I might live, All my blessings come from Thee, O how good Thou art to me! 5 Thou my best and kindest Friend, Thou wilt love me to the end! Let me love Thee more and more, Always better than before. Amen. Used With Tune: GERMAN EVENING HYMN

Jesus, holy, undefiled

Appears in 72 hymnals Topics: Hymns for Little Children Lyrics: 1 Jesus, holy, undefiled, Listen to a little child; Thou hast sent the glorious light, Chasing far the silent night. 2 Thou hast sent the sun to shine O'er this glorious world of Thine; Warmth to give, and pleasant glow, On each tender flower below. 3 Now the little birds arise, Chirping gaily in the skies; Thee their tiny voices praise In the early songs they raise. 4 Thou by whom the birds are fed, Give to me my daily bread; And Thy Holy Spirit give, Without whom I cannot live. 5 Make me, Lord, obedient, mild, As becomes a little child; All day long, in every way, Teach me what to do and say. 6 Make me, Lord, in work and play, Thine more truly every day; And when Thou at last shall come, Take me to Thy heavenly home. Amen. Used With Tune: FERRIER

We are but little children weak

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 81 hymnals Topics: Hymns for Little Children Lyrics: 1 We are but little children weak, Nor born in any high estate; What can we do for Jesus' sake, Who is so high, and good, and great? 2 O, day by day each Christian child Has much to do, without, within; A death to die for Jesus' sake, A weary war to wage with sin. 3 When deep within our swelling hearts The thoughts of pride and anger rise, When bitter words are on our tongues, And tears of passion in our eyes; 4 Then we may stay the angry blow, Then we may check the hasty word, Give gentle answers back again, And fight a battle for our Lord. 5 There's not a child so small and weak But has his little cross to take, His little work of love and praise That he may do for Jesus' sake. Amen. Used With Tune: ALSTONE

I think when I read that sweet story of old

Meter: Irregular Appears in 854 hymnals Topics: Hymns for Little Children Lyrics: 1 I think when I read that sweet story of old, When Jesus was here among men, How He call'd little children as lambs to His fold, I should like to have been with them then. 2 I wish that His hands had been placed on my head, That His arm had been thrown around me, And that I might have seen His kind look when He said, Let the little ones comes unto Me. 3 Yet still to His footstool in prayer I may go, And ask for a share in His love; And if I thus earnestly seek Him below, I shall see Him and hear Him above. 4 In that beautiful place He has gone to prepare For all who are washed and forgiven; And many dear children shall be with Him there, For of such is the kingdom of heaven. 5 But thousands and thousands who wander and fall, Never heard of that heavenly home; I wish they could know there is room for them all, And that Jesus has bid them to come. Amen. Used With Tune: ROSSLYN
