. Illustrated songs and hymns for the little ones. 20 WHAT I AYAS MADE FOR. He made the Flower to charm the eye,And scent the air around ; He made the Tree so broad and high,To shadow all the ground. He made the Stars to cheer the night,And yon dark sky adorn ; He made the Sun, so warm and ripen well the corn. I cannot twinkle like a Star,Or blossom like the Flowers ; But God hath made me greater far,And given me nobler powers. Affection, reason, knowledge, will,Lord, thou hast given to me ; Then shall not each, Thy law fulfil,And all be used for Thee ? s. w. 22 CHILD WITH FLOWER
