TOMORROW IS THE SABBATH DAY.
I'LL put away my pretty toys,
And lay my slate aside,
My picture-books upon the shelf,
Quite neatly, side by side.
I wish to put them all away:
Tomorrow is the Sabbath day.
I'll try, God helping me, to spend
The Sabbath as I ought,
And pray that I be kept from sin
In deed and word and thought.
I'll put my playthings all away:
Tomorrow is the Sabbath day.
I'll ask the Lord to bless me, when
Up to his house I come;
To help me in the Sabbath school;
To bless me in my home;
To put all sinful thoughts away
Upon his holy Sabbath day.
Lord, keep a little sinful child
Under thy watchful care;
Forgive her many, many sins,
And guard her everywhere;
And let her love to praise and pray
Upon thy blessed Sabbath day.
Children's friend.
