SECOND DEVOTIONAL SONG.

1 OUR heavenly Father sent his Son
2 From hateful sin to save us,
3 And precious blessings many a one,
4 Health, friends and freedom gave us.
[Page 207]
5 And all we see, each beauteous sight,
6 The woods, the fields, the ocean,
7 The sun by day, the moon by night,
8 Should fill us with devotion.
9 Then let our praises be expressed
10 In light and lively measure,
11 He loves the grateful homage best
12 That is bestowed with pleasure.
