“Now I awake, and see the light;
’Tis God who kept me through the night.
To him I lift my voice, and pray
That he would keep me through the day.
If I should die before ’tis done,
O God, accept me through thy Son. Amen.”
Teach your children to fear God and to keep his commandments. Train
them up for him. Remember they are given to you to be brought up for
some good and useful end. Let them have every advantage within your
reach for their improvement. And above all, set them a good example
yourselves, which will have more effect in making them good children
than any lessons which you or others may give them.
