"Well, say it, dear," said the little mother.
"I want to sing it," said Minnie.
"So you shall, dear," answered the mother, "and we will all sing with you."
The dear child's eyes sparkled with pleasure at this, and she began with her sweet robin's note to sing—I am sure every little boy and girl has heard it before—
"Lord, how delightful 'tis to see,
A whole assembly worship thee.
At once they sing, at once they pray;
They hear of heaven, and learn the way.
"I've been to church, and love to go,
'Tis like a little heaven below;
Not for my pleasures or my play,
Would I forget the Sabbath Day."
All the children joined in singing this hymn, with hearts and voices; and their Heavenly Father heard, and poured his blessing down upon this good and happy family.
