C.M.

"God is in heaven: can He hear
 
A little child like me?"
 
"Yes, little child; thou needst not fear:
 
He’ll listen e’en to thee."

"God is in heaven: can He see
 
If I am doing wrong?"
 
"Oh, yes, He can; He looks at thee
 
All day and all night long."

"God is in heaven: would He know
 
If I should tell a lie?"
 
"Yes; if thou saidst it soft and low,
 
He’d hear it in the sky."

"God is in heaven: does He care
 
Thence to send good to me?"
 
"Yes; in His Word He doth declare
 
All good He giveth thee."

"God is in heaven: would He save
 
A little child like me?"
 
"Yes, little child; for Jesus gave
 
His life for such as thee."
