A Child’s Prayer Lyrics

O Almighty God,
Who Hast Given Unto
Me My Father And Mother,
And Made Them To Be An
Image Of Thine Authority,
And Love, And Tender
Watchfulness; And Hast
Commanded Me To Love,
And Honour, And Obey Them
In All Things: Give Me
Grace Cheerfully And
With My Whole Heart
To Keep This Thy Law.

Help Me To Love Them
Fervently, To Honour
Them Truly, To Yield A
Ready Obedience To Their
Commands, To Comply With
Their Wishes, To Study
Their Happiness In Everything,
And To Bear Their Rebukes
With Patience And Humility.

Deliver Me O God, From Pride,
Rebellion And Wilfulness,
From Passion And Stubbornness,
From Sloth And Carelessness.

Make Me Diligent In All
My Duties And Studies,
And Patient In All My Trials;
That So Living, I May
Deserve To Be Thy Child,
Who Art Our Father In Heaven.

Amen.
