THE BOYHOOD OF JESUS

Try to be like Jesus.

The Bible tells of Jesus,

So gentle and so meek;

I’ll try to be like Jesus

In ev’ry word I speak.

For Jesus, too, was loving,

His words were always kind;

I’ll try to be like Jesus

In thought and word and mind.

I long to be like Jesus,

Who said “I am the Truth;”

Then I will give my heart to him,

Now, in my early youth.

—Lillian Payson.

THE BABY JESUS.

The Little Lord Jesus.

Away in a manger,

No crib for a bed,

The little Lord Jesus

Laid down his sweet head.

The stars in the sky

Looked down where he lay—

The little Lord Jesus

Asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing,

The poor baby wakes,

But little Lord Jesus

No crying he makes.

I love thee, Lord Jesus;

Look down from the sky,

And stay by my cradle

To watch Lullaby.

—Luther’s Cradle Hymn.

The Child Promised.
