2 To Christ, th' anointed King,
Be endless blessings giv'n,
Let the whole Earth his Glory sing
Who made our Peace with Heav'n.
Glory to the Father and the Son, &c.
Long Metre.
To God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, Three in One,
Be Honour, Praise, and Glory giv'n,
By all on Earth, and all in Heav'n.
Common Metre.
Now let the Father and the Son,
And Spirit be ador'd,
Where there are works to make him known,
Or saints to love the Lord.
Short Metre.
Give to the Father Praise,
Give Glory to the Son,
And to the Spirit of his Grace
Be equal Honour done.
A Slight SPECIMEN of MORAL SONGS,
_Such as I wish some happy and condescending Genius would undertake
for the use of Children, and perform much better_.
The sense and subjects might be borrow'd plentifully from the
_Proverbs of Solomon_, from all the common appearances of nature,
from all the occurrences in the civil life, both in city and country:
(which would also afford matter for other divine songs). Here the
language and measures should be easy and flowing with cheerfulness,
and without the solemnities of religion, or the sacred names
of God and holy things; that children might find delight and profit
together.
