HYMNS FOR CHILDREN.

I.

WE are but little children weak, Nor born in any high estate; What can we do for Jesus' sake. Who is so high and good and great?

Hymn 464.

FIRST TUNE.

[ We know the Holy Innocents

Laid down for Him their infant life, And martyrs brave and patient saints Have stood for Him in fire and strife. 3.

S. DENYS( L.M.)

We bear the cross they bore of old, Our lips have learned like vows to make; We need not die; we cannot fight; What may we do for Jesus' sake?]

4.

Oh! day by day, each Christian child Has much to do, without, within; A death to die for Jesus' sake, A weary war to wage with sin.

P

" Lord, what wouldst Thou have me to do?

5.

When deep within our swelling hearts The thoughts of pride and anger rise, When bitter words are on our tongues, And tears of passion in our eyes; 6.

ARTHUR PATTON.

A- men.

Then we may stay the angry blow, Then we may check the hasty word, Give gentle answers back again, And fight a battle for cur Lord. 7.

p With smiles of peace and looks of love, Light in our dwellings we may make, cres.Bid kind good humour brighten there And still do all for Jesus' sake.

8.

There's not a child so small and weak But has his little cross to take, His little work of love and praise cres. That he may do for Jesus' sake.

Amen.
