A Child Talks with God

NELLIE B. MACE

I am Thy child, Thy little one;
I know this, Father, for I feel Thy care
Around me all the day:
At home, at school, and on the way
Between. I know it when I run
And play and work, and share
With all my playmates lovely thoughts
Of Truth that come from Thee
To make me pure and wise and strong and free.

I am Thy child, Thy little one;
I thank Thee, Mother, for Thy love which makes
Me glad and unafraid—
For all the good that Thou hast made.
And when at night my tasks are done,
I pray that Love, which takes
Such care—O Father-Mother God!—
May help all children see
How they can know Thee and can talk with Thee.
