Song 28.
For Lord’s Day Evening.

1 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.

2 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.

3 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!

4 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.

Exod. 20.

1.  Thou shalt have no more Gods but me. 2.  Before no idol bow thy knee. 3.  Take not the Name of God in vain:  4.  Nor dare the Sabbath Day profane. 5.  Give both thy parents honour due. 6.  Take heed that thou no murder do. 7.  Abstain from words and deeds unclean:  8.  Nor steal, though thou art poor and mean. 9.  Nor make a wilful lie, nor love it. 10.  What is thy neighbour’s, dare not covet.

The Sum of the Commandments out of the New Testament.

Matt. 22. 37.

With all thy Soul love God above;
And as thyself thy Neighbour love.

Our Saviour’s Golden Rule.

Matt. 7. 12.

Be you to others Kind and True,
As you’d have others be to you. 
And neither do nor say to Men
Whate’er you would not take again.

Duty to God and our neighbour.

Love God with all your Soul and Strength. 
With all your Heart and Mind;
And love your Neighbour as your self: 
Be faithful, just, and kind.

Deal with another as you’d have
Another deal with you. 
What you’re unwilling to receive,
Be sure you never do.

Out of my Book of Hymns, I have here added, the Hosanna and Glory to the Father, &c. to be sung at the end of any of these Songs, according to the Direction of Parents or Governors.

The Hosanna; or Salvation ascribed to Christ.

Long Metre.

1 Hosanna to king David’s Son,
Who reigns on a superior Throne;
We bless the Prince of Heav’nly Birth,
Who brings Salvation down to Earth.

2 Let every nation, every age,
In this delightful work engage;
Old Men and Babes in Sion sing
The growing glories of her King!

Common Metre.

1 Hosanna to the Prince of Grace; Sion behold thy King; Proclaim the Son of David’s Race, And teach the Babes to sing.

2 Hosanna to th’ Eternal Word,
Who from the Father came;
Ascribe Salvation to the Lord,
With Blessings on his Name!

Short Metre.

1 Hosanna to the Son
Of David and of God,
Who brought the News of Pardon down,
And bought it with his Blood.
