82 DIVINE SONGS FOR CHILDREN.

4 §$o did his wife Sapphira die,
When she came in, and grew so bold
As to confirm the wicked lie
That just before her husband told.

5 The Lord delights in them that speak
The words of truth; but every lar
Must have his portion in the lake
That burns with brimstone and with fire.

6 Then let me always watch my lips,
Lest I be struck to death and hell;
Since God a book of reckoning keeps
For every lie that children tell.
