A CHILD’S PRAYER
(a classic illustration by D. L. Moody)
At the close of one of the afternoon meetings we had in the Berkeley street church a few weeks ago, a little child brought me a note. I put it in my pocket, and read it when I got home.

no water can wash away.
The sands may be shifted when billows are wild
and the efforts of time may decay.
Some stories may perish, some songs be forgot,
but this engraved record, time changes it not.
Whatever you write in the heart of

My Child
I would like to rejoice with the rest, Lord,
But there’s a great big ache in my heart -
For someone I love is suffering, Lord,
And I don’t know how to start.
Will you help me sing carols again, Lord?
And make all my fears depart?
Will you lead me safely to Bethlehem
To worship with all my

THE SERVANT AND THE CHILD
Think about the differences between a servant and a child:
The servant is accepted and appreciated on the basis of what he does, the child on the basis of who he is.

HOLY CHILD
Ah, dearest Jesus, holy Child,
Make thee a bed, soft, undefiled,
Within my heart, that it may be
A quiet chamber kept for Thee.
My heart for very joy doth leap,
My lips no more can silence keep,
I too must sing, with joyful tongue,
That sweetest ancient cradle song,
Glory to God
