The Sheep He gently leads, the Lambs
He in His Bofom bears.

Who hearken to His Call;
But Us, His weak, His Little Ones,
He loves us beft of all.

5. If unto us our Friends are good, 'Twas He their Hearts inclin'd,、 He bids our Fathers give us Food, And makes our Mothers kind.

6. Then let us thank him for his Grace,
He will not disapprove

Our meanest Sacrifice of Praise,
Our Childish, prattling Love.

A

LL Thanks and Praise to GoD belong
Our Father and Our Friend;

Let us with Life begin the Song,
Which never more fhall end.

2. All Power and Majefty are His,
He ever reigns alone;

Our Souls He did in Mercy seize,
And He can keep His Own..

3. Unfpotted from the World, and Sin,
In Innocence we live,

Before the Poison works within,

To GOD our Hearts we give.

4. Not to the vain Defires of Men We live, but to our God, Who died for us, and rofe again,,

To wafh us in His Blood.

5. To Him our earliest Fruits we brings.

The Sacrifice of Praife;

All our Diverfion is to fing

The dear Redeemer's Grace.

6. To Him we innocently live,
Delight His Will to do;

A Pattern to you Men we give,
A Child may teach e'en You.

7. Children ye must be All again.
Make Hafte like us to be;
Return ye wife, ye finful Men
To harmless Infancy.

8. Poor Men, acknowledge your Offence,
And blush to hear our Song,

And figh to fee the Innocence.
Ye have out-liv'd so long.

By Earth and Heaven ador'd ;.

Children are bid to praise His Name,
And magnify the LORD.

With all His Hofts above,

Our Songs are void of Art,
Yet GOD accepts the smallest Things
Given with a Willing Heart.

Who did our Souls redeem,

And

And all our Childish Thoughts approves,-
When offer'd up thro' Him.

5. He makes us His peculiar Care,
While by His Spirit led;:

We all His genuine Children are,
And on His Bounty feed.

6. Though Men defpife our Infancy,
Angels attend our Ways,
They wait on Us, yet always fee
Our Heavenly Father's Face..

7. Surrounded by a Flaming Hoft,
The bright Cherubic Powers;
Not all the Kings of Earth can boast
Of fuch a Guard as Ours..

8. And while th'. Angelic Army fings,
With them we feebly join
T'extol the Glorious King of Kings,
The Majefty Divine!
