PRAISE TO GOD FOR LEARNING TO READ. 1 THE praises of my tongue I offer to the Lord, That I was taught, and learn’d so young, To read his holy word: 2 That I am brought to know The danger I was in ; By nature and by practice too, A wretched slave to sin: 3 That I am led to see I can do nothing well; And whither shall a sinner flee, To save himself from hell ?
