23 Children pruising the Saviour. C. M. HOSANNAS were by children surg Jesus was on earth; Then surely we are not too young 2 The Lord is great, the Lord is good; With earthly and with heavenly food; 3 We thank him for his gracious word; 24 1 Power and Grace. GIVE thanks to God most high, The universal Lord; The sovereign King of kings; P. M. Thy inercy, Lord, And ever sure Shall still endure, Abides thy word. 2 How mighty is his hand! What wonders hath he done! He formed the earth and seas, And spread the heavens alone. His power and grace And let his name Are still the same; Have endless praise. 3 He saw the nations lie, All perishing in sin, And pitied the sad state The ruined world was in. Thy mercy, Lord, Shall still endure, And ever sure Abides thy word. 4 He sent his only Son To save us from our wo, From Satan, sin, and death, And every hurtful foe. His power and grace And let his name Are still the same, Have endless praise, 25 Praise for the Sabbath. S. M. THE 3 4 Sabbath of the Lord, For then we read and hear God's word, That day with songs we bless, When Christ, the Sun of Righteousness, Ours is the Sabbath-school; And grow by every gospel rule So all our lives below, In wisdom's pleasant ways, The fruits of Sabbath-schools will show The bliss of Sabbath-days. 6 Lord of the Sabbath! send 6 Prosperity and peace, Till tasks and teaching here shall end, Then heaven itself shall be 26 Lo Praise for Mercies. C. M. ORD, I would own thy tender care, The food I eat, the clothes I wear, 2 And thou preservest me from death 3 My health, and friends, and parents dear, To me by God are given; I have not any blessings here, But what are sent from heaven. 4 Such goodness, Lord, and constant care, A child can ne'er repay; But may it be my daily prayer 27 Praise to the Saviour. To praise the Saviour's name, Let little children try; S. M. While saints and angels do the same His love in heaven is sung, 3 The wonders of that love No earthly tongue can tell, Which brought the Saviour from above, 4 For us he wept and bled, And suffered all his pain; For us was numbered with the dead, 5 And still for us he prays, 6 . And makes our souls his care; Lord Jesus! grant that we On earth thy humble followers be; 28 1 Α LMIGHTY God! while earth and heaven Wilt thou permit a child to sing 2 The early dawn of opening life 29 I C. M. The Christian Birth. 2 I was not born as thousands are, And taught to pray a useless prayer 3 I was not born a little slave, And wish that I were in my grave, 4 I was not born without a home, A wretched outcast, taught to roam, 5 My God! I thank thee, who hast planned A better lot for me; And placed me in this happy land, 30 1 Praise to Christ. AWAKE, and sing the song. Moses and the Lamb; S. M. Wake, every heart and every tongue, 2 Sing of his dying love; 3 In Christ the exalted King. 5 31 COME, sound his praise abroad, And hymns of glory sing; Jehovah is the sovereign God, |
