Page 27 - All this day Thy hand has led me, — And I thank thee for thy care ; Thou hast clothed me, warmed and fed me, Listen to my evening prayer. Let my sins be all forgiven ! Bless the friends I love so well ! Take me, when I die, to heaven, Happy there with thee to dwell ! VI.

Go, seek thy little brother's side, And press to his thy rosy cheek, And whisper the forgiveness free, He is too proud to seek. Then as the brightest ray from heaven Doth on the glittering dewdrop fall, Thy penitence shall be received, And GOD forgive thee all.
Page 73 - Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life ; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
