THE EVENING PRAYER.

With meek and simple faith,

A child’s confiding love,

The infant cherub kneels to breathe

His prayer to God above.

And all the host of heaven is there,

To listen to that infant prayer.

"God, bring dear father home,

God, make dear mother well,

God, make me good, and let us come

All in Thy house to dwell."

Then, while their watch good angels keep,

"God giveth His beloved sleep."
