Third Devotional Song.
18th Century Joanna Baillie EnglishTHIRD DEVOTIONAL SONG.
OUR Father and Almighty Lord, By angels and by saints adored, With starry brightness circled round, Gleam beyond gleam, which hath no bound, — Though He be high and we are low, Accepts the grateful thanks that flow From infant lips, and to the skies, Like morning's early vapour rise; — The simplest child who lisps a prayer, His mercy and his love will share.
