741. C. M. Watts. Early Piety. 1 When children give their hearts to God, 'Tis pleasing in his eyes; A flower, when offered in the bud, Is no vain sacrifice. 2 It saves us from a thousand snares To mind religion young; Grace will preserve our following years, And make our virtues strong. 3 To thee, Almighty God, to thee May we our hearts resign; 'Twill please us to look back and see, That our whole lives were thine.
