Dove Prayers For Children Dove

Morning Prayer

Now, before I run to play,
Let me not forget to pray
To God Who kept me through the night
And waked me with the morning light.

Help me, Lord, to love Thee more
Than I ever loved before,
In my work and in my play,
Be Thou with me through the day.
Amen.

Dove


I Thank Thee, Lord

I thank Thee, Lord, for quiet rest,
And for Thy care of me;
O let me through this day be blest
And kept from harm by Thee.

- - Mary L. Duncan

The Gift

What can I give Him,
Poor as I am?
If I were shepherd
I would bring a lamb.
If I were a Wise Man
I would do my part.
Yet what can I give Him?
Give my heart.

- - Christina Rossetti

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Amen.

Father, We Thank Thee

For flowers that bloom about our feet,
Father, we thank Thee,
For tender grass so fresh and sweet,
Father, we thank Thee,
For the song of bird and hum of bee,
For all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.

For blue of stream and blue sky,
Father, we thank Thee,
For pleasant shade of branches high,
Father, we thank Thee,
For fragrant air and cooling breeze,
For beauty of the blooming trees,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.

For this new morning with its light,
Father, we thank Thee,
For rest and shelter of the night,
Father, we thank Thee,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Prayer Of Thanks

Thank you for the world so sweet,
Thank you for the food we eat.
Thank you for the birds that sing,
Thank you, God, for everything.

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
In earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive us our debts,
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil,
For thine is the kingdom,
And the power, and the glory,
Forever.
Amen.

Jesus, Tender Shepherd, Hear Me

Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me;
Bless Thy little lamb tonight;
Through the darkness be Thou near me,
Watch my sleep till morning light.

All this day Thy hand has led me,
And I thank Thee for Thy care;
Thou has warmed and clothed and fed me;
Listen to my evening prayer.

- - Mary L. Duncan

Prayer For Caring

God be in my head, and in my understanding;
God be in my eyes, and in my looking;
God be in my mouth, and in my speaking;
God be in my heart, and in my thinking;
God be at my end, and in my departing.

A Child's Prayer

God, make my life a little light
Within the world to glow;
A little flame that burneth bright
Wherever I may go.

God, make my life a little flower
That giveth joy to all,
Content to bloom in native bower,
Although the place be small.

God, make my life a little song
That comforteth the sad,
That helpeth others to be strong
And makes the singer glad.

God, make my life a little staff
Whereon the weak may rest,
And so what health and strength I have
May serve my neighbors best.

God, make my life a little hymn
Of tenderness and praise;
Of faith, that never waxeth dim,
In all His wonderous ways.

- - M. Betham-Edwards

Jesus, From Thy Throne On High

Jesus, from Thy throne on high,
Far above the bright blue sky,
Look on me with loving eye;
Hear me, Holy Jesus.

Be Thou with me every day,
In my work and in my play,
When I learn and when I pray;
Hear me, Holy Jesus.

- - Thomas B. Pollock

A Good Way

Let's see, dear God, I want to tell
You in a brand new way
"I Love You!" But I cannot think
Of anything to say.
I know, dear God! I'll run and do
Something for someone, and
Then when You see me doing it
Of course You'll understand!

- - Mary Dixon Thayer


Dove


Evening Hymn

I hear no voice, I feel no touch,
I see no glory bright;
But yet I know that God is near,
In darkness as in light.

He watches ever by my side,
And hears my whispered prayer:
The Father for His little child
Both night and day doth care.

Dove


Bedtime Prayer

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray Thee Lord, Thy child to keep:
Thy love guard me through the night
And wake me with the morning light.
Amen.

Dove


Good-Night Prayer

Father, unto Thee I pray,
Thou hast guarded me all day;
Safe I am while in Thy sight,
Safely let me sleep tonight.

Bless my friends, the whole world bless;
Help me to learn helpfulness;
Keep me ever in Thy sight;
So to all I say good night.

- - Henry Johnstone


Dove


Good Night

Good night! Good night! Far flies the light;
But still God's love shall flame above,
Making all bright. Good night! Good night!

Dove


God Watches Us

God watches o'er us all the day,
at home, at school, and at our play;
And when the sun has left the skies,
He watches with a million eyes.

- - Gabriel Setoun
