1. It is good to pray unto God, for his sorrowing children
Turns he ne'er from the door; but he heals and helps and consoles them.
It is good to pray when all things are prospering with us;
For do ye know, ye children, one blessing that comes not from heaven?
Love is the root of creation-God's essence. Worlds without nunier.
Lie in his bosom like children.                           [Tegner.]
2. Then the school will stand and sing in response to the reading of the miinister
or superintendent:
My son, if thou come to serve the Lord, prepare thy soul for tempta-
tion. Set thy heart aright, and constantly endure, and make not haste
in time of trouble. Whatsoever is brought upon thee, take cheerfully,
and b patient when thou art changed to a low estate. For gold is tried
in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity. Believe in
him and he will help thee; order thy way aright and trust in him.
[Ecclesiasticus ii. ]
