30 DIVINE SONGS FOR CHILDREN.

4 Children a sweet hosanna sung,
And bless’d their Saviour’s name ;
They gave him honour with their tongue,
While scribes and priests blaspheme.

5 Samuel, the child, was wean’d, and brought
To wait upon the Lord;
Young Timothy betimes was taught
To know his holy word.

6 Then why should I so long delay
‘What others learn’d so soon ?
I would not pass another day
Without this work begun.
