Pour out your heart before Him.-- Psa. 62. 8.
1 HOLY Jesus, who didst die
On the cross for such as I,
Teach me how to pray;
Hear and keep me by Thy might,
From the dangers of the night, And from sin by day.
2 Give me daily clothes and food,
Bless my friends and make them good,
Bless my parents dear;
And as in the heavens still Angels do Thy holy will, Let me do it here.
3 But if any wrong I do, If I speak what is not true, Saviour, pity me;
Let my sins be all forgiven, Take me when I die to heaven, Let me live with Thee.

My strength is made perfect in weakness.2 Cor. 12. 9.
1 My God has given me work to do While in this world I live;
And He will help me if I pray, And needful strength will give.
2 I have to strive with evil thoughts, And all in me that's wrong; For very many sins I have, Although I am so young.
3 I have my faults to overcome, My temper to subdue;
To check my proud and angry words, And words that are not true.

4 And I have duties to fulfil
With diligence each day;
To try to learn what I am taught, And humbly to obey.
5' Tis thus, O Lord, a child like me May do Thy holy will;
And I will pray for grace and strength Thy pleasure to fulfil.

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.- Phil. 2. 5.
1 LET me learn of Jesus; He is kind to me, Once He died to save me, Nailed upon the tree.
2 If I go to Jesus,
He will hear me pray, Make me good and holy, Take my sins away.
3 Let me think of Jesus; He is full of love, Looking down upon me From His throne above.
4 If I trust in Jesus,
If I do His will, Then I shall be happy, Safe from every ill.
5 Oh, how good is Jesus! May He hold my hand, And at last receive me To a better land.

The Lord looketh on the heart.- 1 Sam. 16. 7.
1 GOD does not judge as we must do,
By word, and look, and tone;
He sees the motive through and through, And knows why all is done.
