Sleep Holy Babe

 

Sleep, Holy Babe, Upon Thy Mother's breast.
Great Lord of earth and sea and sky,
How sweet it is to see Thee lie
In such a place of rest.

Sleep, Holy Babe, Thine angels watch around;
All bending low with folded wings
Before th'Incarnate King of kings,
In rev'rent awe profound.

Sleep, Holy Babe, While I with Mary gaze
In joy upon Thy face awhile,
Upon the loving Infant smile,
Which there divinely plays.

Sleep, Holy Babe, O take Thy brief repose!
Too quickly will Thy slumbers break,
And Thou to lengthen'd pains awake,
That death alone shall close.

King's College, boy's choir sings "Sleep Holy Babe"

When thou art kneeling down at night...

And forgive us our Trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us. 

WHEN thou art kneeling- down at night, 
Beside thy mother's knee to pray, 
And thinking over all thy sins, 
Done through the busy day ; 

Then call to mind thy brother's wrong, 
To strife by angry passions driven, 
And in thy heart forgive him all, 
As thou would'st be forgiven. 

Go, throw thy little arms around 
His neck, and kiss him tenderly, 
Nor turn away with pouting lip, 
And sullen tearful eye. 

Thou hast sinned more against thy GOD, 
Than ever brother sinned to thee ; 
If He should turn away His face, 
How wretched would'st thou be. 

Dost thou remember when thy LORD 
Hung on His cruel Cross so long, 
How in His agony He pray'd 
For those that did Him wrong? 

They nailed His hands, they pierced His feet, 
Their angry hearts no pity knew, 
"FATHER, forgive them," was His cry, 
"They know not what they do." 

Go, seek thy little brother's side, 
And press to his thy rosy cheek, 
And whisper the forgiveness free 
He is too proud to seek. 

Then as the brightest ray from heaven 
Doth on the glittering dewdrop fall, 
Thy penitence shall be received, 
And GOD forgive thee all.

Description of Coloring Page: angels, heaven, praying, worshiping, singing to God

Thy will be done, in Earth as it is in Heaven 

THE Angels stand around Thy Throne, 
And wait Thy bidding every one, 
As stars around the full bright moon, 
Or clouds beneath the setting sun. 

Fair creatures, beautiful and bright, 
They do the will of GOD on high, 
His ministers to us on earth, 
Unseen their white wings gliding by. 

And children, too, may do GOD'S will, 
Each in his lowly earthly place ; 
For CHRIST hath said, " Our Angels bright 
Always behold the FATHER'S Face." 

LORD, when we say, " Thy will be done," 
May heart to lip be ever true: 
O ! give us grace to serve Thee here, 
As gladly as the Angels do. 

Like Him, the lowly Child, Who dwelt 
Where gleams the Galilean sea, 
Whose meat it was to do Thy will, 
Our Guide, our Trust, our Pattern, He. 

And if Thou send us pain or grief, 
If loss or anguish e'er befall, 
Still teach us, though with quivering lip, 
To say, "Thy will be done in all." 

Thus did our LORD in anguish pray, 
Saying, " Not My will, LORD, but Thine;" 
So kneel we at our FATHER'S Feet, 
And all our wills to Him resign.

I love the little snowdrop flower...

I LOVE the little snowdrop flower, 
The first in all the year, 
Without a stain upon its leaf, 
So snowy white and clear. 

I love a little modest child, 
That speaketh quietly, 
That blushes up to its blue eyes, 
And hardly answers me. 

I sometimes think the Church's Saints 
Are flowers so fair and bright 
And that her little children are 
Her snowdrops sweet and white 

For pure of heart, and innocent, 
And teachable, and mild, 
And modest in its ways and words, 
Should be a Christian child. 

I do not like a loud rough tone, 
A look too boldly set, 
A greedy hand outstretched to seize 
Whatever it can get. 

I'd rather meet with downcast eyes, 
Sweet voices low and faint, 
For gentleness and modesty 
Become a little Saint.

Little birds sleep sweetly...

Description of Coloring Page: mother holds her baby, children sleep soundly, bed, cradle, rocking chair, window, curtains, yarn, knitting needle, wooden beams

LITTLE birds sleep sweetly 
In their soft round nests, 
Crouching in the cover 
Of their mothers' breasts. 

Little lambs lie quiet, 
All the summer night, 
With their old ewe mothers, 
Warm, and soft, and white. 

But more sweet and quiet, 
Lie our little heads, 
With our own dear mothers, 
Sitting by our beds. 

And their soft sweet voices 
Sing our hush-a-bies, 
While the room grows darker 
As we shut our eyes. 

And we play at evening 
Round our father's knees, 
Birds are not so merry, 
Singing on the trees: 

Lambs are not so happy, 
'Mid the meadow flowers; 
They have play and pleasure, 
But not love like ours. 

But the heart that 's loving, 
Works of love will do; 
Those we dearly cherish, 
We must honor too: 

To our father's teaching 
Listen day by day, 
And our mother's bidding 
Cheerfully obey. 

For when in His childhood 
Our dear LORD was here, 
He too was obedient 
To His Mother dear. 

And His little children 
Must be good as He, 
Gentle, and submissive, 
As He used to be.

Within the churchyard, side by side...

The Resurrection of the Body. 

WITHIN the churchyard, side by side, 
Are many long low graves, 
And some have stones set over them, 
On some the green grass waves. 

Full many a little Christian child, 
Woman, and man, lies there; 
And we pass by them every time 
When we go in to prayer. 

They cannot hear our footsteps come, 
They do not see us pass, 
They cannot feel the bright warm sun 
That shines upon the grass. 

They do not hear when the great bell 
Is ringing overhead; 
They cannot rise and come to Church 
With us, for they are dead. 

But we believe a Day will come, 
When all the dead will rise, 
When they who sleep down in the grave, 
Will ope again their eyes. 

For CHRIST our LORD was buried once, 
He died and rose again, 
He conquered death, He left the grave, 
And so will Christian men. 

So when the friends we loved the best 
Lie in their churchyard bed, 
We must not cry too bitterly 
Over the happy dead;

I knew a little sickly child...

I believe in the Holy Ghost. 

I KNEW a little sickly child; 
A The long long summer's day, 
When all the world was green and bright, 
Alone in bed he lay. 
There used to come a little dove 
Before his window small, 
And sing to him with her sweet voice 
Out of the fir-tree tall. 

And when the sick child better grew, 
And he could crawl along, 
Close to that window he would creep, 
And listen to her song; 
And he was gentle in his speech, 
And quiet at his play; 
He would not for the world have made 
That sweet bird fly away. 

There is a Holy Dove that sings 
To every Christian child, 
That whispers to his little heart 
A song as sweet and mild. 
It is the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD, 
That speaks his soul within, 
That leads him on to all things good, 
And holds him back from sin. 

And he must hear that still small Voice, 
Nor tempt It to depart, 
The SPIRIT great and wonderful, 
That whispers to his heart; 
He must be pure, and good, and true, 
Must strive, and watch, and pray. 
For unresisted sin at last 
Will drive that Dove away.

Once in royal David's City...

Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary. 

ONCE in royal David's City, 
Stood a lowly cattle shed, 
Where a mother laid her Baby, 
In a manger for His bed. 
Mary was that mother mild, 
JESUS CHRIST her little Child. 

He came down to earth from Heaven, 
Who is GOD and LORD of all, 
And His shelter was a stable, 
And His cradle was a stall; 
With the poor, and mean, and lowly 
Lived on earth our SAVIOR Holy. 

And through all His wondrous childhood, 
He would honor and obey, 
Love and watch the lowly maiden 
In whose gentle arms He lay. 
Christian children all must be 
Mild, obedient, good 'as He.  

For He is our childhood's Pattern, 
Day by day like us He grew, 
He was little, weak, and helpless, 

Tears and smiles like us He knew; 
And He feeleth for our sadness, 
And He shareth in our gladness. 

And our eyes at last shall see Him, 
Through His Own redeeming love, 
For that Child so dear and gentle 
Is our LORD in Heaven above; 
And He leads His children on 
To the place where He is gone. 

Not in that poor lowly stable, 
With the oxen standing by, 
We shall see Him ; but in Heaven, 
Set at GOD'S right Hand on high; 
When like stars His children crowned, 
All in white, shall wait around.

All things bright and beautiful...

Maker of Heaven and Earth. 

ALL things bright and beautiful, 
All creatures great and small, 
All things wise and wonderful, 
The LORD GOD made them all. 

Each little flower that opens, 
Each little bird that sings, 
He made their glowing colors, 
He made their tiny wings. 

The rich man in his castle, 
The poor man at his gate, 
GOD made them, high or lowly, 
And ordered their estate. 

The purple-headed mountain, 
The river running by, 
The sunset, and the morning, 
That brighten up the sky ; 

The cold wind in the winter, 
The pleasant summer sun, 
The ripe fruits in the garden, 
He made them every one. 

The tall trees in the greenwood, 
The meadows where we play, 
The rushes by the water, 
We gather every day ; 

He gave us eyes to see them, 
And lips that we might tell, 
How great is GOD Almighty, 
Who has made all things well.

We were only little babies...

HOLY BAPTISM. 

WE were only little babies, 
Knowing neither good nor harm, 
When the Priest of GOD Most Holy 
Took us gently in his arm. 

And he sprinkled our young faces 
With the water clear and bright, 
And he signed our SAVIOR'S token 
On our little foreheads white. 

In the Name of GOD the FATHER, 
Of the SON, and HOLY GHOST, 
He baptized us then, and made us 
Soldiers in our Master's host. 

Then we promised by our sureties, 
Vowing for us solemnly, 
Manfully to fight His battles, 
Gentle, kind, and good to be. 

At our posts beneath His banner, 
We must watch, and strive, and pray, 
By the Grace of GOD within us 
Growing better every day. 

For the little flowers grow brightly 
In the early morning dew, 
And when GOD'S good SPIRIT feeds them 
Children's hearts grow holy too. 

We must keep our early promise, 
We must guard what He has given,* 
Till the LORD, Who loved and saved us, 
Take us to our home in Heaven.

On the dark hill's western side...

Description of Coloring Page: Children's hymn illustrated, siblings play on the lawn, cottages and clouds in the background, words below

EVENING HYMN. 

ON the dark hill's western side 
The last purple gleam has died, 
Twilight to one solemn hue 
Changes all, both green and blue. 

In the fold and in the nest, 
Birds and lambs are gone to rest ; 
Labor's weary task is o'er, 
Closely shut the cottage door. 

SAVIOR, ere in sweet repose 
I my weary eyelids close, 
While my mother through the gloom 
Singeth from the outer room;  

While across the curtain white, 
With a dim uncertain light, 
On the floor the faint stars shine, 
Let my latest thought be Thine. 

'Twas a starry night of old, 
When rejoicing Angels told 
The poor shepherds of Thy birth, 
GOD become a Child on earth. 

Soft and quiet is the bed 
Where I lay my little head ; 
Thou hadst but a manger bare, 
Rugged straw for pillow fair. 

SAVIOR, 'twas to win me grace 
Thou didst stoop to that poor place, 
Loving with a perfect love 
Child, and man, and GOD above. 

Hear me as alone I lie, 
Plead for me with GOD on high; 
All that stained my soul to-day 
Wash it in Thy blood away. 

If my slumbers broken be, 
Waking let me think of Thee: 
Darkness cannot make me fear, 
If I feel that Thou art near. 

Happy now I turn to sleep; 
Thou wilt watch around me keep; 
Him no danger e'er can harm 
Who lies cradled on Thine arm.

Now the dreary night is done...

Description of Coloring Page: This coloring page based upon a old children's hymn, words below

• Now the dreary night is done...
  

MORNING HYMN. 

NOW the dreary night is done, 
Comes again the glorious sun, 
Crimson clouds, and silver white, 
Wait upon his breaking light. 

Glistening in the garden beds, 
Flowers lift up their dewy heads, 
And the shrill cock claps his wings, 
And the merry lark upsprings. 

When the eastern sky is red, 
I, too, lift my little head. 
When the lark sings loud and gay, 
I, too, rise to praise and pray. 

SAVIOR, to Thy cottage home 
Once the daylight used to come ; 
Thou hast ofttimes seen it break 
Brightly o'er that eastern lake. 

Child of Mary, Thou dost know, 
What of danger, joy, or woe, 
Shall to-day my portion be, 
Let me meet it all in Thee.  

Thou wast meek and undefiled, 
Make me holy, too, and mild ; 
Thou didst foil the tempter's power, 
Help me in temptation's hour. 

Thou didst love Thy mother here, 
Make me gentle, kind and dear ; 
Thou wast subject to her word, 
Teach me to obey, O LORD. 

Fretful feelings, passion, pride, 
Never did with Thee abide ; 
Make me watch myself to-day, 
That they lead me not astray. 

With Thee, LORD, I would arise, 
To Thee look with opening eyes, 
All the day be at Thy side, 
SAVIOR, PATTERN, KING, and GUIDE.
