 I must pray 
 
 Both night and day. 
 
 Before I eat, 
 I must intreat, 
 That God would bless 
 To me my meat. 
 
 I must not play 
 On God's own day, 
 But I must hear 
 His word in fear.

 It is a Sin 
 
 To steal a pin, 
 Much more to steal 
 A greater thing. 
 
 ril beg my bread 
 From door to door, 
 Rather than steal 
 My neighbour's store. 
 
I must work, 
 And I must pray, 
 That God will feed 
 Me, day by day. 
 
 All honest labor, 
 God will bless ; 
 Let me not live 
 In idleness. 
 
I must not kill 
 A little fly; 
 It is an act 
 Of cruelty. 
 
 I must not lie, 
 I must not feign, 
 1 must not take 
 God's name in vain.

 I must not be 
 Or rude or wild, 
 I must not be 
 A naughty child. 
 
 I must not speak 
 Of others ill, 
 But ever bear 
 To all good will. 
 
rd better 6ie 
 Than tell a lie, 
 Lest I be lost 
 Eternally; 
 
 Nor may tny tongue 
 Say what i* wrong; 
 I must not sin 
 A world to wm.

 In the Bible 
 I am to read, 
 And trust in God 
 In all my need ; 
 
 For Christ alone 
 My soul can save, 
 And raise my body 
 From the g^rave.

 Oh ! blessed Saviour 
 Take my heart, 
 And let not me 
 From thee depart. 
 
 Lord, grant that I 
 In faith may die, 
 And live with thee 
 Abwe the sky.

 Creation. 
 
 God made the sky that looks so 
 bhie, 
 God made the grass so green, 
 God made the flowers that smell 
 so sweet, 
 In pretty colors seen. 
 
 God made the sim that shuies so 
 bright, 
 
 And gladdens all T see ; 
 It comes to give us heat and light, 
 
 How thanWui should we he I

 God made the pretty bird to fly. 
 How sweetly has she sung ; 
 
 And tho' she soars so very high, 
 She won't forget her young. 
 
 God made the cow to give nice 
 milk, 
 
 The horse, for me to use ; 
 ril treat them kindly for his sake^ 
 
 Nor dare liii* gifts abuse, 
 
12 
 
 God made the water for my drink, 
 
 God made the fish to swim, 
 God made the trees to bear nice 
 
 fruit, 
 Which does my taste so nicely 
 suit ; 
 O how should I love him ! 
 
 O Lord, how manifest are thy works ! 
 in wisdom hast thou made them all.
