Hymns for the Amusement of Children (1791)/For Saturday

HYMN XXXIII. For SATURDAY.

Now's the time for mirth and play, Saturday's an holyday; Praise to heav'n unceasing yield, I've found a lark's nest in the field.

A lark's nest, then your play-mate begs You'd spare herself and speckled eggs; Soon she shall ascend and sing Your praises to th'eternal King.
