[If children may the Scripture know]

From a child thou hast known the holy, &c. —iii. 15.

If children may the Scripture know,
Explain it, Lord, to mine,
And let them in the wisdom grow,
The tender fear Divine;

109

While in Thy word Thy voice they hear,
And use the grace bestow'd,
Let it throughout their lives appear
That they are taught of God.
