Hymns for the Amusement of Children (1791)/The Conclusion of the Matter

HYMN XXXIX. The Conclusion of the Matter.

Fear God — obey his just decrees, And do it hand, and heart, and knees; For after all our utmost care There's nought like penitence and prayer.

Then weigh the balance in your mind, Look forward, not one glance behind; Let no foul fiend retard your pace, Hosanna! Thou hast won the race.


 * Cf. Eccl. 12:13
