My God! with wonder and with praise, On all thy works I look, But still thy wisdom, pow'r, and grace, The stars that in their courses roll, The fields provide me food, and show Here are my choicest treasures hid, And here my hopes arise. Lord, make me understand thy law Then let me love my Bible more, By day to read its wonders o'er, BY THE SIDE OF A RIVER. NURSERY SONGS. By the side of a river so clear, They carried the beautiful child, Mid the flags and the bushes, In an ark of bul.. rush - es, They left him so lonely and wild; For the ruffians would come If he tar ried at home, And murder that in fant so dear.! By the side of the river so clear, Stepped down to the water, She opened the ark, And found a sweet infant was there. By the side of the river so clear, And thought him so pretty, Her beautiful son, And sent for a nurse that was near. Away from the river so clear, And then he looked happy and smil'd Did all that she could, To nurse him and teach him with care. MY BIBLE. My Bible! 'tis a book divine, My Bible! in this book alone My Bible! here with joy I trace My Bible! source of comfort pure, I love my Bible; may I ne'er Consult it but with faith and prayer, That I may see my Savior there, Who died for me!
