SONGS FOR THE

PRAISE FOR MERCIES.

Lord, I would own thy tender care,
And all thy love to me,

The food I eat, the clothes I wear,
Are all bestowed by thee.

And thou preservest me from death
And dangers every hour ;

I cannot draw another breath,
Unless thou give me power.

My health, my friends, and parents dear,
To me by God are given ;

I have not any blessings here,
But what are sent from heaven.

Such goodness, Lord, and constant care,
A child’ can ne’er repay ;

But may it be my daily prayer

To love thee and obey.

CHILDREN’S PRAISES.

Around the throne of God in heaven,

- ‘Thousands of children stand—

Children whose sins are all forgiven,
A holy, happy band,

Singing, Glory, glory.
