SECOND DEVOTIONAL SONG . OUR heavenly Father sent his Son From hateful sin to save us , And precious blessings many a one , Health , friends and freedom gave us . And all we see , each beauteous sight , The woods , the fields , the ocean , The sun by day , the moon by night , Should fill us with devotion . Then let our praises be expressed In light and lively measure , He loves the grateful homage best That is bestowed with pleasure .
