MOTHER.

Can tallow and cotton, my son,
  Protect you from harm thro' the night,
When into a mould it is run,
  And made in a candle to light?


WILLIE.

The candle could not see or hear,
  And I'll try to remember to-night,
That God my kind Father is near,
  Then, mamma, I'll not ask for a light.



"CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART, O GOD!"


Savior, keep me near thy side,
  Take my hand within thine own,
I would be thy little child,
  Leave me not to walk alone.

"Suffer little ones to come,"
  Thou didst say, when here on earth;
Let my feet no longer roam,
  I would know thy heavenly birth.

Take my wicked heart away,
  Make me holy like thy Son;
Leave me not from thee to stray,
  Leave me not to walk alone.
