He prayeth well who loveth well
Both man and bird and beast.
He prayeth best who loveth best
All things great and small,
For the dear God Who loveth us,
He made and loveth all.

SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE




LITTLE Boy kneels at the foot of the bed,
Droops on the little hands little gold head
Hush! Hush! Whisper who dares!
Christopher Robin is saying his prayers.

God bless Mummy. I know that's right.
Wasn't it fun in the bath tonight?
The cold's so cold, and the hot's so hot.
Oh! God bless Daddy---I quite forgot.

If I open my fingers a little bit more,
I can see Nanny's dressing gown on the door.
It's a beautiful blue, but it hasn't a hood.
Oh! God bless Nanny and make her good.
 
Mine has a hood, and I lie in bed,
And pull the hood right over my head,
And I shut my eyes, and I curl up small,
And nobody knows that I'm there at all.

Oh! Thank, Thee, God, for a lovely day.
And what was the other I had to say?
I said "Bless Daddy," so what can it be?
Oh! Now I remember it. God bless Me.
 
Little Boy kneels at the foot of the bed,
Droops on the little hands little gold head
Hush! Hush! Whisper who dares!
Christopher Robin is saying his prayers.

SWEET SAVIOR BLESS US


SWEET SAVIOR, bless us, ere we go;
Thy word into our minds instill,
And make our lukewarm hearts to glow
With lowly love and fervent will.

SWEET SAVIOR, bless us, ere we be;
Thy word into our hearts instill,
And lead our souls clearly to see
Thy love can warm ev'n winter's chill.
