THE LITTLE WATCHMAN.



WATCHING for a golden chance

To do a kindly deed; 

Watching, with a loving glance,

To help a brother's need.

Watching for the paths of right, 

That we may walk therein;

Watching still, with all our might, 

That we may conquer sin.




ON, FARTHER ON!


EACH night is a prison-bar

Broken and gone; 

Each morning a golden gate,

On, farther on! 

On, on toward the city

So shining and fair; 

And He who hath loved me,

Died for me, is there!

LOVE ONE ANOTHER.


"LITTLE children, love each other;"

'Tis the blessed Saviour's rule; 

Every little one is brother 

To his playfellows at school.

We' re all children of one Father, 

That great God who reigns above;

Shall we quarrel? No; but rather 

Would we dwell like him in love.




A LITTLE RULE.


GOOD and true and happy,

I may be, 

Walking in the sunshine,

Glad and free, 

If I but remember

Every day

What the Bible tells me, 

"Watch and pray."
