He gives us friends who seek our good, His bounteous hand provides our food, DUTY TO OUR NEIGHBOURS. To do to others as I would That they should do to me, We never need behave amiss, I know I should not steal, or use, Which I should never like to lose, And this plain rule forbids me quite But any kindness they may need, As I am very glad indeed When they are kind to me. Whether I am at home, at School, I never should forget this rule DUTY TO GOD AND OUR NEIGHBOUR. LOVE God with all your soul and strength,. And love your neighbour as yourself; Deal with an other as you'd have Another deal with you: What you're unwilling to receive, Be sure you never do. OUR SAVIOUR'S GOLDEN RULE. Be you to others kind and true, GOD EVERY WHERE PRESENT. AMONG the deepest shades of night, When every eye around me sleeps, If I could find some cave unknown, On every side there would be God. He smiles in heaven, He frowns to hell He fills the air, the earth, the sea; I must within his presence dwell; Yet I may flee,-He shows me where ; C GOD SEES AND KNOWS EVERY THING I'm not too young for God to see; He knows my name and nature too; And all day long he looks at me, And sees my actions through and through. He listens to the words I say, And knows the thoughts I have within : O! how could children tell a lie, The Lord who sees us through and through. Then when I want to do amiss, However pleasant it may be, I'll always try to think of this- AGAINST QUARRELLING AND FIGHTING. LET dogs delight to bark and bite, For God hath made them so ; But children, you should never let Let love through all your actions run, His soul was gentle as a lamb, Now Lord of all, he reigns above, LOVE BETWEEN BROTHERS AND SISTERS. WHATEVER brawls disturb the street, Birds in their little nests agree, And 'tis a shameful sight, When children of one family Fall out, and chide, and fight. |
