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.

WATTS.

[blocks in formation]

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.

WATTS.

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?

In earth and heaven the Lord of all!

In one eternal round.
