“FEED MY LAMBS.”

A CHILD'S FAITH.

“How sweet it is my child, To live by simple faith; Just to believe that God will do Exactly what he saith.”

“Does faith mean to believe That God will surely do Exactly what he says, mamma? Just as I know that you Will give me what I ask, Because you love me well, And listen patiently to hear Whatever I may tell?”

“Yes, you may trust in God, Just as you trust in me; Believe, dear child, he loves you well, And will your Father be.

For when you sought his love, Your Father up in Heaven Looked kindly down for Jesus' sake, And has your sins forgiven.

To pray in faith my child, Is humbly to believe That what you ask in Jesus' name, You surely shall receive.

Go with your simple wants, And tell him all you need; Go put your trust in Christ alone; Such faith is sweet indeed.” —Children's Guest.
