Publisher's Note

" Childhood Songs" has been prepared to meet a demand for a first-class book for the primary department in Sunday-schools and for home use among the little folks. It is the outgrowth, in great part, of an experience of several years in primary work. Most of its melodies have been subjected to practical tests which have demonstrated their adaptedness to the powers and tastes of little children. As will be seen, these melodies align themselves with the newer music of the day. They will be found on trial to be as simple as they are sweet and harmonious. Great attention has been given to the word- as well as to the music. The hymns are within the comprehension of the \ oungest child, but the truths and sentiments they express are of the highest order and in the best form. The editors have done their utmost to combine variety with excellence. It is believed that there is not a single page which will not be found available and helpful.

The thanks of the editors and publisher are due and are hereby tendered to Prof. I). Batchellor, Thomas G. Shearman, Margaret Bradford Morton, Caro A. Dugan, Helen H. Cobb, Lucy Rider Meyer, W. II. Doane, Theo. F. Seward, (has. L. Hutchins, T. E. Perkins, The Century Co., The Oliver Dit- son Co., and others, for the use of words and music; to Dr. E. II. Johnson and Prof. D. Batchellor for valuable suggestions ; and to Rev. E. E. Ayres for reading and revising proof.

To God's command, and quiet lie In his kind hand, In his kind hand.

Till he shall say, "Dear child, come, fly To heaven's bright land. To heaven's bright land."

2 I love to tli ink that thou with holy feet

My path hast trod, Along life's common lane and dusty street

Hast walked with God. On Mary's bosom drawn a baby's breath And served thy parents dear at Nazareth.

3 0 gentle Jesus, make this heart of mine

So full of sin) As holy, harmless, undefiled as thine

And dwell t herein.

Then, God my Father, I, like thee, shall know, And grow in wisdom as in strength I grow.

4 To thee my Saviour, then, with morning Light,

I Had songs V II raise, My Baddest hours and darkest shall be brighl

With silent praise. And should my work or play my thoughts employ, Thy will shall be my law, thy love my joy.

2 Thou hast sent the sun to shine O'er this glorious world of thine, Warmth to give and pleasant glow, On each tender flower below.

3 Now the little birds arise, Chirping gaily in the skies ; Thee their tiny voices praise, In the early songs they raise.

4 Thou, by whom the birds are fed, Give to me my daily bread ; And thy Holy Spirit give, Without whom I cannot live.

Loving Shepherd of Thy Sheep.

J. E. Leeson.

1 Loving Shepherd of thy sheep, Keep thy lambs, in safety keep; Nothing can thy power withstand; None can pluck us from thy hand.

•J Loving Saviour, thou did'st give Thine own life that we might live; And the hands outstretched to bless Bear the cruel nails' impress.

Tune. — ''Jesus, Holy, Undefiled."

We would praise thee every day, Gladly all thy will obey, Like the blessed ones above, Happy in thy precious love.

Loving Shepherd, ever near, Teach thy lambs thy voice to hear; Suffer not our steps to stray From the straight and narrow way.

Where thou leadest we would go, Walking in thy steps below Till before our Father1 s throne We shall know as we are known. 25

Prayer.

Little hearts may love thee well, Little lips thy love may tell, Little hymns thy praises swell :

Hear us, holy Jesus. Little lives may be divine, Little deeds of love may shine, Little ones be wholly thine :

Hear us, holy Jesus. Be thou with us every day, In our work and in our play, When we Learn and when we pray

Hear us, holy Jesus. When we lie asleep at night, Ever may thy angels bright, Keep us safe till morning light:

Hear us, holy Jesus.

6 May we ever try to be From all sinful tempers free, Pure and gentle, Lord, like thee :

PI ear us, holy Jesus.

7 May our thoughts be undeflled, May our words be true and mild, Make us each a holy child :

Hear us, holy Jesus.

8 Jesus, Son of God, most high, Who didst in a manger lie, Who upon the cross didst die :

Hear us, holy Jesus.

Before my journey's done ; The world is lull of sorrow

And suffering they say; But I will follow Jesus

Whatever I may meet, I'll take it, joy or sorrow,

And lay at Jesus3 feel ; He'll comfort me in trouble,

He'll wipe my tears away : With joy I'll follow Jesus

All the way.

Then trials cannot vex me,

And pain I need not fear, For when I'm close by Jesus,

Grief cannot come too near; Not even death can harm me,

When death I meet one day To heaven I'll follow Jesus

O Jesus, we would praise thee

With songs of holy joy; For thou on earth didst sojourn

A pure and spotless boy. Make us like thee, obedient,

Like thee from sin-stains free, Like thee in God's own temple,

In lowly home like thee.

3 O Jesus, we would praise thee,

The lowly maiden's Son : In thee all gentlest graces

Are gathered into one. O give that best adornment

That Christian child can wear, The meek and quiet spirit

Which shone in thee so fair.

4 () Lord, with voices lifted

AVe sing our songs of praise ; Be thou the light and pattern

Of all our child-hood's days ; And lead us ever onward,

That while we stay below We may, like thee, 0 .Jesus, In grace and wisdom grow. 43

Alstone. Concluded,

When deep within our swelling hearts The thoughts of pride and anger rise, When hitter words are on our tongues,

And tears of passion in our eyes, — Then may we stay the angry blow,

Then may we cheek the hasty word, Give gentle answers hack again,

And light a battle for our Lord.

5 With smiles of peace and looks of love.

Light in our dwellings we may make Bid kind, good-humor brighten there, And do all still for Jesus' sake

6 There's not a child so small and weak,

But has his little cross to take, His little work of love and praise That he may do for Jesus' sake.

When I was but a child :

But 1 have felt thee in my thoughts,

Rebuking sin for me ; And, when my heart loves God, I know

The sweetness La from thee.

3 And when, dear Saviour, I kneel down, Morning and night, to prayer,

Something there is within mv heart Which tells me thou art there.

Yes, when 1 pray, thou prayest too: Thy prayer is all for me;

But when 1 sleep, thoil sleepest not, Bui watchest patiently.

Above the bright, blue sky, Who love the blessed Saviour,

And to the Father cry ; A pest from every turmoil,

From sin and sorrow free, Where every little pilgrim

Shall rest eternally.

.*> There's a home for little children,

Above the bright, blue sky, Where Jesus reigns in glory,

A homo of peace and joy ; N<> home on earth is like it,

Nor can with it compare, For every one is happy,

Nor could be happier there.

4 There's a crown for little children,

Above the bright, blue sky, And all who look for Jesus,

Which he will then bestow On those who found his favor,

And loved his name below.

2 Golden buttercups catching the sunlight,

AVhile the heavens are blue and fair, Then when days are dark and misty,

Making sunshine everywhere, Happy the season that may hold Goodly store of your fairy gold.

3 Hidden away under meadow grasses,

Like a hint of the far, blue sky, If we look close we shall find a blossom

Right at our feet, so quiet and shy ; Quiet and shy, yet what were spring, Wanting the violet's offering?

4 Day by day the happy wild flowers

Lift their heads to the sun's warm glow, Gratefully drink the cooling showers.

Rocked by the winds, sway to and fro, — Then as the night brings shadows deep, Drooping their little heads they sleep.

5 Children dear, if our lives are loving,

Sweet to all, like the clover here, Having the modest grace of violets,

Pull of the buttercup's sunny cheer, We will be God's little human flowers, Helping to brighten this world of ours. 93

2 Every spring the sweet, young flowers

Open bright and gay, Till the chilly autumn hours

Wither them away ; There's a land we have not seen,

Where the tree- are always green.

3 Little birds sing songs of praise

All t he summer long, Bui in colder, shorter days

They forget their song ; There's a place where angels sing l easeless praises to their K ing.

Christ our Lord is ever near

Those who follow him ; But we cannot see him here.

For our eyes are dim ; There is a most happy place, Where men always see his face.

Who shall go to that fair land?

All who love the right ; Holy children there shall stand

In their robes of white :

For that heaven, so bright and blest,

Is our everlasting rest
