God's Care For the Young
ISAAC was ransomed while he lay
Upon the altar bound;
Moses, an infant, cast away,
Pharaoh's own daughter found.
Joseph, by his false brethren sold,
God raised above them all;
To Hannah's child the Lord foretold
How Eli's house must fall.
David the bear and lion slew,
And o'er Oath's champion stood;
Josiah from his boyhood knew
His father David's God.
To good Naomi gentle Ruth
Clave with a daughter's soul;
A little maid revealed the truth
Whence Naaman was made whole.
Children are thus Jehovah's care,
Thus youth may seek his face;
If his own Son he did not spare,
Will he not give all grace?
