5. While others early learn to swear, And curse, and lie, and steal, Lord, I am taught Thy name to fear, And do Thy holy will.
6. Are these Thy favors day by day, To me above the rest,
Then let me love Thee more than they, And try to serve Thee best.
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, Once was a child as young as I, And kept his Father's law.
3. At twelve years old he talked with men- The Jews in wonder stand, Yet he obeyed his mother then, And came at her command.
4. Children a sweet hosanna sung,
And blest their Saviour's name; They gave him honor with their tongue, While scribes and priests blaspheme.
5. Then why should I so long delay What others learn so soon; I would not pass another day, Without this work begun.
1. WE miss thee in thy place at school, And on thy homeward way, Where violets by the reedy pool, Peep out so shyly gay.
2. And many a tearful, longing look In silence seeks thee yet,
Where, in its own familiar nook, The fireside chair is set.
3. And oft, when little voices dim Are feeling for the note
In chanted prayer, or psalm, or hymn, And wav'ring wildly float-
4. Comes gushing o'er a sudden thought Of her who led the strain, How oft, such music home she brought, But ne'er shall bring again.
5. O say not so! the spring-tide air
Is fraught with whisperings sweet, Who knows, but heavenly carols there With ours may duly meet?
To God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit, Three in One, Be honor, praise, and glory given, By all on earth, and all in heaven.
PRAISE God, from whom all blessings flow! Praise Him, all creatures here below! Praise Him above, ye heavenly host! Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
1. WORTHY the Lamb of boundless sway, - In earth and heaven the Lord of all! Let all the powers of earth obey, And low before His footstool fall.
2. Higher-still higher swell the strain; Creation's voice the note prolong! Jesus, the Lamb, shall ever reign : Let hallelujahs crown the song.
ALL glory while the ages run Be to the Father, and the Son Who rose from death; the same to Thee, O Holy Ghost, eternally.
PRAISE to the Father, with the Son, And Holy Spirit, Three in One; As ever was in ages past, And shall be so while ages last.
LET God the Father, and the Son, And Spirit, be adored,
Where there are works to make Him known, Or saints to love the Lord.
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, One God, whom we adore,
Be glory as it was, is now, And shall be evermore.
To God the Father glory be, And to His only Son; The same, O Holy Ghost! to Thee, While ceaseless ages run.
IN hope to join th' angelic host, And all the ransomed throng, To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, We raise the greatest song.
1. THOU art the first, and Thou the last; Time centers all in Thee,
The Almighty God who was, and is, And evermore shall be.
2. To Thee let every tongue be praise And every heart be love; All grateful honors paid on earth, And nobler songs above.
We raise our shouts, O God, to Thee, And send them to Thy throne;
All glory to th' united Three, The undivided One.
Hosanna! let the earth and skies Repeat the joyful sound; Rocks, hills, and vales reflect the voice In one eternal round.
YE angels round the throne,
And saints that dwell below, Worship the Father, praise the Son, And bless the Spirit, too.
To God the Father's throne Your highest honors raise; Glory to God the Son;
To God the Spirit praise; With all our powers, Eternal King, Thy name we sing, while faith adores.
SING we to our God above Praise eternal as His love; Praise Him, all ye heavenly host- Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
PRAISE the name of God most high, Praise him, all below the sky, Praise him, all ye heavenly host Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; As through countless ages past, Evermore his praise shall last.
