LESSON 23
SEE how bright it is! The sun is up. The birds are up. Hark! do you hear them sing?
The bees are at work. They have been up a long time.
Make haste, that we may go and watch them near the hive.
It is good for you and for me to rise with the sun, and the birds, and the bees.
Now, kneel down, and thank God that He has kept you all through the night.
Ask Him to bless you, and keep you safe all day long.
See, now, the sun is down. Look how red the sky is in the west. It will soon be dark.
The birds are at rest in the trees. See how each one hides its head in its wing. It is time, too, for you to say, “Good night,” and to go to bed. But do not go to rest till you have knelt down to pray to God, and to thank Him for all His love and care.
Ask Him to watch you in the night. He sees you, and will keep you safe from harm.
“I will not fear, for God is near,
Through the dark night, as in the light;
And while I sleep, safe watch will keep.
Why should I fear, when God is near?”
