3 What heavy guilt upon him lies! how cursed is his name! The ravens shall pick out his eyes, and eagles eat the same. 4 But those who worship God, and give their parents honour due, Here on this earth they long shall live, and live hereafter too. XXI.--_The Child’s Complaint._ 1 Why should I love my sports so well, so constant at my play, And lose the thoughts of heaven and hell, and then forget to pray? 2 What do I read my Bible for, but, Lord, to learn thy will? And shall I learn to know thee more, and less obey thee still? 3 How senseless is my heart and wild! how vain are all my thoughts! Pity the weakness of a child, and pardon all my faults. 4 Make me thy heav’nly voice to hear, and let me love to pray, Since God will lend a gracious ear to what a child can say. XXII.--_A Morning Song._ 1 My God, who makes the sun to know his proper hour to rise, And to give light to all below, dost send him round the skies: 2 When from the chambers of the east his morning race begins, He never tires, nor stops to rest, but round the world he shines; 3 So, like the sun, would I fulfil the business of the day, Begin my work betimes, and still march on my heav’nly way. 4 Give me, O Lord, thine early grace, nor let my soul complain That the young morning of my days has all been spent in vain. XXIII.--_An Evening Song._ 1 And now another day is gone, I’ll sing my Maker’s praise; My comforts every hour make known his providence and grace. 2 But how my childhood runs to waste my sins, how great their sum! Lord, give me pardon for the past, and strength for days to come. 3 I lay my body down to sleep; let angels guard my head, And through the hours of darkness keep their watch around my bed. 4 With cheerful heart I close my eyes, since thou wilt not remove; And in the morning let me rise rejoicing in thy love. XXIV.--_For the Lord’s Day Morning._ 1 This is the day when Christ arose so early from the dead; Why should I keep my eyelids close, and waste my hours in bed? 2 This is the day when Jesus broke the powers of death and hell; And shall I still wear Satan’s yoke, and love my sins so well? 3 To-day with pleasure Christians meet, to pray, and hear thy Word, And I will go with cheerful feet to learn thy will, O Lord.
