A Child's Prayer -   by M. Bentham-Edwards

              God make my life a little light,
                Within the world to glow;
             A tiny flame that burneth bright
                 Wherever I may go.

              God make my life a little flower
                That giveth joy to all.
              Content to bloom in native bower,
                Although its place be small.

             God make my life a little song,
                  That comforteth the sad;
             That helpeth others to be strong,
                And makes the singer glad.

             God make my life a little staff,
              Whereon the weak may rest
        That so what health and strength I have
              May serve my neighbor best!
