1 Samuel 2:26: The child Samuel grew on, and was in favour, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Holy Child, our children take
With Thyself on us bestow'd,
Partners of Thy nature make.
Bless, and bring them up for God,
Give them in Thy grace to grow.
Favourites of the Deity,
Favourites of Thy saints below,
Perfectly conform'd to Thee.
