My birthday Wish.
:, I'd like to be boy again
And run around the farm,
: And play those childish games once
more
1IldL ola us all no harm.
I'd love to kneel by mothers knee
And say my evening prayer,
: And look into her lovely face
While was kneeling there.
I'd like to have that same sweet hand
Upon my shoulder laid,
2 AS back into my little room
My boyish feet were led.
And down upon the floor we knelt,
: Hard by the mercy seat
And God was asked to keep her boy
: Close to the Saviour's feet.
I'd love to kneel again once more
: Around the fireplace,
And hear my fathers pleading voice
: Praying for daily grace.
: I'd love to go to Sunday school
And learn the way Of life.
And spend those happy days again
So free from sin and strife
I'd love to meet my class again
That sat there by the door
t With good Judge Jones. our teache
e then,
q Who left us long ago.
: He took us all the Bible through
, And taught US all the way,
] That Moses and the prophets went
d And leads to endless day.

Oh! give me grace to live.

A good account may give.
