EVENING HYMN *.

ry to Thee, my God! this night,

For

all the blessings of the light;

Keep me, Oh! keep me, King of kings,

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow,
Praise Him all creatures here below,
Praise Him above, angelic host,

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

* Evening Prayer, same as used for Morning at p. 2.

Who taught the busy Bee to fly,

Among the sweetest herbs and flow'rs?

And lay her store of honey by,

Providing food for Winter's hours?

III.

Who taught the little Ant the way
Her narrow hole so well to bore?
And through the pleasant Summer's day,
To gather up her Winter's store?

IV.

'Twas God who taught them all the way,
And gave these little creatures skill:
And teaches Children, if they pray,
To know and do his holy will.

There we sing such pretty songs

Of the Horse, and Cow, and Sheep; Talk of what to each belongs,

All the while our time we keep.

IV.

Then join hands, and make a ring,
Running round the holly tree,
To the tune" God save the King,
There we sing our A, B, C.

V.

How we love our Infant School,

And our play-ground clean and neat !

When of boys and girls 'tis full,

Playing there is quite a treat.
