It makes a nest in the green grass.

See the nest in the grass!

See the sparrow fly!

God loves the sparrow.

God is sorry when the sparrow is hurt.

Do not hurt the sparrow.

day done bed will go

hear say prayer to heaven

The day is done.

The sparrow will go to bed.

It will go to bed in its nest.

The lily and the rose will go to bed.

I will go to bed.

I go to bed in my dear home.

My mother will hear me say my prayer.

I say my prayer to my Father in heaven.

My Father in heaven loves to hear me say my prayer.

"I laid me down and slept;
I awaked, for the Lord sustained me."--_Psalms 3:5_.

THE "MATER AMABILIS IN GLORIA"
By Bodenhausen

"The extremely popular 'Mater Amabilis in Gloria,' where a girlish
young mother, her long hair streaming about her, stands in upper
air, poised above the great ball of the earth, holding her sweet
babe to her heart. Pictures like these constantly reiterate the
story of a mother's love--an old, old story, which begins again with
every new birth."--_Hurll_

star sky above trees

shines night twinkle them

It is night.

I see a star.

The star shines at night.

The star twinkles.

The star twinkles in the sky.

Do you see the star?

It shines above the trees.

I love to see the birds, and the flowers, and the stars.

God made them all.

God loves them all.

God loves you.

"He telleth the number of the stars;
He calleth them all by their names."
_Psalms 147:4_.

morning sun rises hills

glad here are awaken

The night is done.

The day is here.

I awaken when it is day.

The birds awaken when it is day.

The flowers awaken when it is day.

I see the sun in the sky.

The sun rises above the hills.

The sun rises above the trees.

The birds and the flowers are glad to see the sun.

Are you glad the night is done?

"Day unto day uttereth speech,
And night unto night showeth knowledge."--_Psalms 19:2_.
