O make me a very good child

Author: J. P. Morgan
Published in 7 hymnals

Representative Text

1 O, make me a very good child,
My Father in heaven, I ask;
Ne'er let me be careless or wild,
Or consider my lessons a task.
I'll do what my teachers direct--
My gratitude show for their care,
By treating their rules with respect,
And walking each day in thy fear.
