Note 496 — PART THE SECOND. (continued 11)
Reading edition
We subjoin an extract from this Sunday-school hymn, for the benefit of our younger readers.
"Hear, Lord, the song of praise and prayer, In heaven, thy dwelling-place, From infants, made the public care, And taught to seek thy face! Thanks for thy word, and for thy day; And grant us, we implore, Never to waste in sinful play Thy holy Sabbaths more. Thanks that we hear—but, oh! impart To each desires sincere, That we may listen with our heart, And learn, as well hear."
