 MOTHER.

Can tallow and cotton, my son, Protect you from harm thro' the night, When into a mould it is run, And made in a candle to light?

WILLIE.

The candle could not see or hear, And I'll try to remember to-night, That God my kind Father is near, Then, mamma, I'll not ask for a light.

"CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART, O GOD!"

Savior, keep me near thy side, Take my hand within thine own, I would be thy little child, Leave me not to walk alone.

"Suffer little ones to come," Thou didst say, when here on earth; Let my feet no longer roam, I would know thy heavenly birth.

Take my wicked heart away, Make me holy like thy Son; Leave me not from thee to stray, Leave me not to walk alone.
