THE MOTHER’S PRIMER.
:)Z
WHO MADE THE SUN AND MOON ?
I saw the glorious sun arise.
Behind yon mountain grey;
And as he travell’d through the skies.
The darkness fled away !
And all around me was so bright,
I wish’d it would be always light.
And when his shining course was done.
The gentle moon drew nigh,
And stars came twinkling, one by one.
Upon the azure sky.
Who made the sun to shine so far.
The moon and every twinkling star ?
’Twas GOD, my child, who made them all.
By his Almighty skill;
He keeps them that they do not fall.
And guides them as he will;—
That glorious GOD, who dwells afar.
In heaven beyond the highest star.
