Why do you weep?
I am falling asleep,
And Jesus my Shepherd,
Is watching his sheep;
His arm is beneath me,
His eye is above;
His Spirit within me
Says, "Rest in my love:
With blood I have bought thee,
And wash'd thee from sin;
With care I have brought thee
My fold to be in;
Refresh'd by still waters,
In green pastures fed,
Thy day has gone by--
I am making thy bed."
_Extract in "The Twin Brothers."_
THE END.
Macintosh, Printer, Great New-street, London.
PRAYER.
O Father in Heaven,
Thou hast made all things;
The sun, moon, and stars, the land and sea.
Thou hast made me.
Thou hast taken care of me.
I thank Thee for all thy kindness.
Great God, Thou art in every place;
Thou seest in the dark,
As well as in the light;
Thou knowest all the naughty things
That I have done, and said, and thought.
O Merciful Lord, pardon my sins,
Because Jesus Christ, thy dear Son,
Died upon the cross for sinners.
Give me thy Holy Spirit,
That I may love Thee, and obey thy laws.
Keep me from minding Satan,
And save me from going to hell:
And whenever I die,
O take my soul to Heaven.
When Jesus comes with clouds,
And with the holy angels,
May I be glad to see Him.
May my dear parents, and brothers, and sisters,
Be happy with Thee for ever and ever.
May all people love Thee,
And speak of thy goodness.
Hear me for Christ's sake. Amen.
