Divine and Moral Songs for the Use of Children (1850)

These divine songs may be a pleasant and proper matter for children's daily or weekly worship, to sing one in the family at such time as the parents or governors shall appoint; and therefore the verse is confined to the most usual psalm tunes. The reader will find nothing here that savors of a party: the children of high and low degree, of the Church of England or dissenters, baptized in infancy or not, may all join together in these songs. The language is presented to the level of a child's understanding and it is hoped these composures may be of more universal use and service.
