“‘Inspire her infant heart The Saviour’s love to know, And guide her through this dreary world, This wilderness of woe. “‘Thou sleep’st again, my lamb, Nor heed’st nor song nor prayer: Go, sleeping in thy mother’s arms, Safe in a mother’s care. “‘And when, in future years, Thou know’st thy father’s tongue, These lines will show thee how he felt, How o’er his babe he sung. ‘To Maria Eliza Butterworth Judson, born at Ava, January 26, 1825.’” The following versification of the Lord’s Prayer was composed a few weeks later. It illustrates the nature of the subjects which occupied the thoughts of the missionary during this long-protracted agony. It is comprised in fewer words than the original Greek, and contains only two more than the common translation: “Our Father God, who art in heaven, All hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done In earth and heaven the same. “Give us, this day, our daily bread; And, as we those forgive Who sin against us, so may we Forgiving grace receive. “Into temptation lead us not; From evil set us free; The kingdom, power, and glory, Lord, Ever belong to Thee. “Prison, Ava, March, 1825.”
