Those things which are most good

My duties with q cheerful heart,
And cheerfully perform my part.
To wear q smile all through the

To Danish thoughts unkind away;
And when my bedtime comes, to

To say my prayers with folded
As night comes siftly DER the lands,
To Him, who always understands.
And when the bells on New Years

Proclaim the bright New Year is

And l awake on New Years morn.

To help me guide my wayward feet
Lest I forget my prayer to meet.
