Oh! blessed Saviour,
Take my heart
And let not me
From thee depart.
Lord, grant that I
In faith may die,
And live with thee
Above the sky.
CREATION.
God made the —— that looks so blue,
God made the —— so green,
God made the —— that smell so sweet,
In —— colours seen.
God made the —— that shines so bright,
And gladdens all I see;
It comes to give us —— and light,
How —— should we be!
God made the —— bird to fly,
How —— has she sung;
And though she —— so very high,
She won't —— her young.
God made the —— to give nice milk,
The horse for —— to use;
I'll treat them —— for his sake,
Nor dare his gifts abuse.
God made the —— for my drink,
God made the —— to swim,
God made the —— to bear nice fruit,
Which does my —— so nicely suit;
O how should I —— him!
"O Lord, how manifest are thy works; in wisdom hast thou made them all!"—Psalm civ. 24.
