The Child’s Comfort
God Is my Friend, I need not fear
For He is good and always near
He will keep me by His power
From day to day, from hour to hour
I am a sinner, but I know
For God’s own word has told me so
That Jesus Christ came down from heaven
To die that I may be forgiven
One thing there is that I must dread
And that Is sin, for God has said
That those whom He protects from ill
Must love His way and do His will
Father, Now the day is past
On Thy Child Thy blessing cast
Near my pillow, hand in hand
Keep Thy guardian angel hand
And throughout the darkling night
Bless me with a cheerful light
Let me rise at morn again
Free from every thought of pain
Passing through life’s thorny way
Keep me Father, day by day!
