Who show’d the little ant the way
Her narrow hole to bore,
And spend the pleasant summer day,
In laying up her store?
The sparrow builds her clever nest,
Of wool, and hay, and moss;
Who told her how to weave it best,
And lay the twigs across?
Who taught the busy bee to fly
Among the sweetest flow’rs,
And lay his store of honey by,
To eat in winter hours?
’Twas God who show’d them all the way,
And gave their little skill,
And teaches children, if they pray,
To do his holy will.
