1 AND now another day is gone,

I'll sing my Maker's praise;
My comforts ev'ry 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.

1 This is the day when Christ arose

So early from the dead: Why should I keep my eyelids clos'd,

And waste my hours in bed? 2 This is the day when Jesus broke

The pow'r 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 would go with cheerful feet,

To learn thy will, O Lord! 4 I'll leave my sport, to read and pray,

And so prepare for heav'n:
0, may I love this blessed day,

The best of all the sev'n!

1 Lord, how delightful 'tis to see

A whole assembly worship thee!
At once they sing, at once they pray;

They hear of heav'n and learn the way. 2 I have been there, and still would go,

'Tis like a little heav'n below; Not all my pleasure and my play

Shall tempt me to forget this day. 3 O write upon my mem’ry, Lord!

The texts and doctrines of thy word;
That I may break thy laws no more,

But love thee better than before. 4 With thoughts of Christ, and things divine,

Fill up this foolish heart of mine;
That hoping pardon through his blood,
I may lie down and wake with God.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, OUT OF THE OLD TESTAMENT, PUT INTO SHORT RHYME FOR CHILDREN.

Exodus, xx. 1. Thou shalt not have more gods but me. 2. Before no idol bow thy knee. 3. Take not the name of God in vain. 4. Nor dare the sabbath-day profane. 5. Give both thy parents honour due. 6. Take heed that you no murder do. 7. Abstain from words and deeds unclean. 8. Nor steal, though thou art poor and

mean. 9. Nor make a wilful lie nor love it. 10. What is thy neighbour's dare not covet.

THE SUM OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, OUT OF THE NEW

TESTAMENT.

Matt. xxii. 37.
With all thy soul love God above,
And as thyself thy neighbour love.

OUR SAVIOUR'S GOLDEN RULE.

Matt. vii. 12.
Be thou to others kind and true,
As you'd have others be to you;
And neither do nor say to men,
Whate'er you would not take again.

DUTY TO GOD AND YOUR NEIGHBOUR.

Love God with all your soul and strength,

With all your heart and mind; And love your neighbour as yourself,

Be faithful, just, and kind.
Deal with another, as you'd have

Another deal with you;
What you're unwilling to receive,

Be sure you never do.

Out of my Book of HYMNS I have here added the Hosan

NA, and Glory to the FATHER, &c. to be sung at the end of any of these Songs, according to the direction of Parents or Governors.

THE HOSANNA; OR, SALVATION ASCRIBED TO CHRIST.

LONG METRE.

HOSANNA to king David's Son!
Who reigns on a superior throne;
We bless the Prince of heav'nly birth,
Who brings salvation down on earth.
Let ev'ry nation, ev'ry age,
In this delightful work engage;
Old men and babes, in Sion sing
The growing glories of her King !
