INFANTS' WORSHIP: PRAISE.

2 He will hear me when I pray; He is with me night and day;-- When I sleep and when I wake, For the Lord my Saviour's sake.

3 He who reigns above the sky Once became as poor as I; He whose blood for me was shed Had not where to lay His head.

4 Though I labour here awhile, He will bless me with His smile, And when this short life is past I shall rest with Him at last.

5 Then to Him I'll tune my song, Happy as the day is long; This my joy for ever be ,­God Almighty cares for me. D. A. THRUPP.

Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me.­Psa. 30. 10.

1 JESUS, listen when we praise;

When we raise our voices high, When we loud hosannas raise, Let them pierce the upper sky.

2 Jesus, listen when we pray,

Though our words be very few, Teach Thy children, day by day, What to say and what to do.

3 Jesus, we would come to Thee, For we all Thy blessing need; Bless us when we bend the knee, When Thy holy word we read.

4 When we listen to Thy truth, When we think of Thy great love, Bless us in our growing youth, us for Thy courts above.

5 Jesus, listen to this prayer; Listen to us all our days; Thou art here and everywhere, Thee we worship, Thée we praise. JOSEPH SOUL.

L.M.

My lips shall utt er praise.- Psa. 119. 171. 1 COME, let us now our voices raise, And sing the loving Saviour's praise; For He who sits in heaven as King Delights to hear the children sing.

2 He always lends a listening ear, When children to His throne draw near, And speaks in tones of love and grace To those who early seek His face.

3 He knows what little children need, And smiles when they His promise plead; Then gently takes them by the hand, And points them to the better land. 4 He knows how little children sin, And yet He seeks their souls to win, He points them back to Calvary, And says, I died to rescue thee.

5 Dear Saviour, now supply our need; Now to Thyself our spirits lead; Now change to flesh our hearts of stone, And make us each and all Thine own. E. HODDER.

1 COME, happy children, come and raise

Your voice with one accord; Come, sing a cheerful song of praise, And bless your Saviour Lord.

And says that such as seek His face, Shall life eternal win.

3 Sing of the wonders of His love, And praise and glory give

To Him who left His throne above, And died that we might live.

4 Sing of the wonders of His power, Who with His own right arm, Upholds and keeps us every hour,

And shield's our souls from harm.

5 Sing of the wonders of His name, And Jesus Christ adore,

Him for your Lord and God proclaim, And praise Him evermore.

D. A. THRUPP.
