HYMN FOR 4 CHILD.


God gave me a little light
To carry as I go.
Bade me keep il clear and bright.
Shining high and low.
Bear It steadfast. without fear.
Shed its radiance far and near,
Make the path before mo clear
With its friendly glow.
God gave me a little song
To sing upon my way;
Rough may be the road and long.
Dark may be the day;
Yet a little bird can wing,
Yet Il little flower can spring,
Yet a little child can sing,
Make the world gay.
God gave me little heart
To love whate'er he made;
Gave me strength 20 bear my part.
Glad and unafraid
Through thy world so fair. so bright,
Father. guide my steps Alright!
Thou my song and thou my light.
So my trust is stayed.
