English poem
Extract From A Sunday-School Hymn.
Hear, Lord, the song of praise and prayer, In heaven thy dwelling-place, From infants, made the public care, And taught to seek thy face! Thanks for thy Word, and for thy day, And grant us, we implore, Never to waste in sinful play Thy holy Sabbaths more. Thanks that we hear'but, oh! impart To each desires sincere, That we may listen with our heart, And learn as well as hear.
