A few Lines Recommended by a Father to his CHILDREN

Unto the LORD, in Morning I, In JESUS's Name, will pray and cry, For his sweet Grace, which he will give, That to his Glory I may live. At Ev'ning too, and Noon each Day, Will not forget to Praise and Pray; And in Ejaculations near, Will oft unto my God repair. His precious Word I'll daily read, And on his Promises will feed. Thro' Grace, with Sin I'll freely part, And to my Saviour yield my Heart. With God all Day, and in his Fear Will walk, and prove myself sincere. On CHRIST, my Surety, I depend, For Strength, which He from Heav'n will send. That I to him these Vows may pay, And never from him go astray. His Merit likewise I must-plead, For Pardon, which I daily need. May I be found in CHRIST at length, Who is my Righteousness and Strength.
