"A PRAYER FOR LITTLE CHILDREN"
RECORDING of "A Prayer for A Little Children," which is the work of two young Melbourne writers, Vera Howe and Derrick Warren, has been made by Uncle Tom, of 1ZB, Auckland, and the Friendly Road Adult Choir of 50 voices, with Nancy Hill as soloist (her photograph is on page 24). It will be broadcast by all ZB stations at 9.0 p.m. this Sunday (December 5}, immediately following the 9.0 o’clock Silent Prayer period, not at 9.0 a.m. as shown in the programmes last week. Here are the words of the "Prayer," which has already made a deep impression in Australia: DFAR Lord who suffered little children to cling around Thy knee, We pray Thee now deliver them from blood and misery. Lord, shield their little bodies that never should know pain, And in Thy mercy build for them their childish world again, [FT every living creature in humbleness and fear, Pray now for little children most innocent and dear. Cry bells from every steeple Kneel down, kneel down good people Who never prayed before, And pray for little children, For helpless little children, Say a prayer for little children in the war.
