Will send his grace from heaven.
If from the bosom that is dear By cold unkindness driven, The heart that knows no refuge here Shall find a friend in heaven. Then hail, thou sacred, blessed day, The best of all the seven, When hearts unite their vows to pay Of gratitude to Heaven. THE GOOD BOY'S HYMN ON GOING TO BED. How sweet to lay my weary head Upon my quiet little bed, And feel assured, that all day long I have not knowingly done wrong! How sweet to hear my mother say, "You have been very good to-day!" How sweet to see my father's joy When he can say, "My dear, good boy!" How sweet it is my thoughts to send To many a dear-loved distant friend, And feel, if they my heart could see, How very happy they would be! |
