English poem
Song 28
by Isaac Watts (1674–1748)
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 have been there, and still would go 'Tis like a little heaven below! Not all my pleasure and my play Should tempt me to forget this day.
O write upon my memory, Lord, The text and doctrines of thy Word, That I may break thy laws no more, But love thee better than before!
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 Rhime for Children.
