Religious Contentment

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Give me but some humble spot Lyrics: 1 Give but some humble spot, Bless'd with liberty and love; Happy will I deem my lot, Till I meet with that above: Here our days at best are few, Mortal life is quickly past; Let me live as Christian's do, Share the Christian's home at last. 2 Let me number thus my days, Seeking wisdom from on high; Prosecute my heavenly race, Pressing onward to the sky. Be my life's lengthened span, Or my sun at noon go down, I am still a happy man; Heir to an immortal crown. Used With Tune: RELIGIOUS CONTENTMENT

A child's morning thoughts

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Happy birds are on the wing Lyrics: 1 Happy birds are on the wing; Hark! how loud and sweet they sing! See that speck upon the sky; 'Tis a lark--I saw her fly. Happy birds, I'm happy too, I will skip and sing with you! Happy birds, I'm happy too, I will skip and sing with you! 2 But before I run to play, Let me not forget to pray To Him who kept me thro' the night, Woke me with the morning light; Gives me life, and health, and food, Fills my soul with every good. Gives me life, and health, and food, Fills my soul with every good. 3 Lord, may every morning sun See a better life begun! May I love and serve thee more Than I ever did before! In my work and in my play Be thou with me, Lord, to-day! In my work and in my play Be thou with me, Lord, to-day! Used With Tune: [Happy birds are on the wing]
