26 DIVINE SONGS FOR CHILDREN.

4 ’Twill save us from a thousand snares
To mind religion young ;
Grace will preserve our following years,
And make our virtue strong,

5 To thee, Almighty God, to thee
Our childhood we resign;
'?’Trwill please us to look back and see
That our whole lives were thine.

6 Let the sweet work of prayer and praise
Employ my youngest breath;
Thus I’m prepared for longer days,
Or fit for early death.
