THE DYING CHILD.

Favell Lee Mortimer

Why do you weep? I am falling asleep, And Jesus my Shepherd, Is watching his sheep;

His arm is beneath me, His eye is above; His Spirit within me Says, “Rest in my love:

With blood I have bought thee, And wash'd thee from sin; With care I have brought thee My fold to be in;

Refresh'd by still waters, In green pastures fed, Thy day has gone by — I am making thy bed.”
