LOVE THOU THE LORD 1. O love the Lord and He will be, A Tender (faithful) Father unto Thee 2. His glories shine with beams so bright No mortal eye can bear the sight 3. Slep downey slep come clos my eyes Tired with upholding vanityes 4. Sweet slumbers come and chase away The toyles and Follys of the day. 5. On thy soft bosom let me lie Forget The world and learn to die. 6. A Mother’s Want God can Supply And may he Guard You With a Watchful Eye. 7. Neglect not thou thy doing well But strive in virtue to excell.
