HYMNS FOR CHILDHOOD.

Others no varied song may pour,
May boast no eagle-plume to soar,
No tints of light may wear;
Yet, know, our Heavenly Father guides
The least of these, and well provides
For each, with tenderest care.
Shall He not then thy guardian be?
Will not his aid extend to thee?
Oh! safely may'st thou rest!—
Trust in his love, and e'en should pain,
Should sorrow tempt thee to complain,
Know, what He wills is best!
