EXAMPLES OF EARLY PIETY.

1 WHAT bless’d examples do I find
Writ in the word of truth,
Of children that began to mind
Religion in their youth!

2 Jesus, who reigns above the sky,
And keeps the world in awe,
‘Was once a child as young as I,
And kept his Father’s law.

3 At twelve years old he talk’d with men,
(The Jews all wondering stand ;)
Yet he obey’d his mother then,
And came at her command.
