Prayers for Children

I've been reading to Hudson more and more lately since he's starting to actually pay attention.

One book I've made a regular is the Little Golden Book, "Prayers for Children."

We pray this one every night. I love it and wanted to share it:

God, make my life a little light

Within the world to glow;

A little flame that burneth bright

Wherever I may go.

God, make my life a little flower

That giveth joy to all,

Content to bloom in native bower,

Although the place be small.

God, make my life a little song

That comforteth the sad,

That helpeth others to be strong

And makes the singer glad.

God, make my life a little staff

Whereon the weak may rest,

And so what health and strength I have

May serve my neighbors best.

God, make my life a little hymn

Of tenderness and praise;

Of faith, that never waxeth dim,

In all His wondrous ways.
