DIVINE SONGS FOR CHYLDREN. 19

4 Dear Lord, this book of thine,
Informs me where to go,
For grace to pardon all my sin,
And make me holy too.

5 Here I can read and learn -
How Christ, the Son of God,
Did undertake our great concern :
Our ransom cost his blood.

6 And now he reigns above,
He sends his Spirit down,
To show the wonders of his love,
And make his gospel known.

7 Ob may that Spirit teach,
And make my heart receive,
Those truths which all thy servants preach,
And all thy saints believe !

8 Then shall I praise the Lord
In a more cheerful strain,
That I was taught to read his word,
And have not learn’d in vain.
