So her children and friends returned to their place; for those that waited for Christiana had carried her out of their sight. So she went and called and entered in at the gate with all the ceremonies of Joy that Christian had done before her. FINIS. DIVINE SONGS FOR THE USE OF CHILDREN. BY I. WATTS, D.D. “Remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth.” [Illustration] GLASGOW: PUBLISHED BY FRANCIS ORR AND SONS. 1847. DIVINE SONGS. I.--_A General Song of Praise to God._ 1 How glorious is our heavenly King, who reigns above the sky! How shall a child presume to sing his dreadful Majesty? 2 How great his power is, none can tell, Nor think how large his grace; Not man below, nor saints that dwell on high before his face: 3 Nor angels that stand round the Lord, can search his secret will; But they perform his heavenly word, and sing his praises still. 4 Then let me join this holy train, and my first off’rings bring; The eternal God will not disdain to hear an infant sing. 5 My heart resolves, my tongue obeys, and angels shall rejoice, To hear their mighty Maker’s praise sound from a feeble voice. II.--_Praise for Creation and Providence._ 1 I sing the Almighty power of God, that made the mountains rise, That spread the flowing seas abroad, and built the lofty skies. 2 I sing the wisdom that ordain’d the sun to rule the day; The moon shines full at his command, and all the stars obey. 3 I sing the goodness of the Lord, that filled the earth with food; He formed the creatures with his word, and then pronounc’d them good. 4 Lord, how many wonders are display’d where’er I turn mine eye! If I survey the ground I tread, or gaze upon the sky. 5 There’s not a plant or flower below, but makes thy glories known; And clouds arise, and tempests blow, by order from thy throne. 6 Creatures (as numerous as they be) are subject to thy care; There’s not a place where we can flee, but God is present there. 7 In heaven he shines with beams of love, with wrath in hell beneath; ’Tis on his earth I stand or move, and ’tis his air I breath. 8 His hand is my perpetual guard, he keeps me with his eye; Why should I then forget the Lord, who is for ever nigh? III.--_Praise to God for our Redemption._ 1 Blest be the wisdom and the power, the justice and the grace, That joined in counsel to restore and save our ruin’d race.
