    there above looking down
    Looking down at me in love.
    In His heart so good and mild
    Well He loves His little child
    Well He sees my tender face.
    From that bright and happy place.
    I will be holy brave and true.
    Lord! that I may live with you
    Never till the day I die shall I dare to tell a lie.
    Never wear a wicked frown.
    And I will keep my anger down
    When my pains are very sore
    Then I know You love me more
    When You bid your child to come
    Dearest Jesus take me home to Heaven"

    Here is another night Prayer:-
    "Jesus tender Shepherd hear me
    Bless Thy little child to night
    In the darkness be Thou near me
    Keep me safe till mornings light
    All this day Thy hand has led me
    And I thank Thee for Thy care
    Thou hast warmed, clothed, and fed me
    Listen to my evening Prayer.
