  1. From Dr. Isaac Watts’ Divine Songs for Children. 1730 Let dogs delight to bark and bite,For God hath made them so;Let bears and lions growl and fight,For ‘t is their nature too.But, children, you should never letSuch angry passions rise;Your little hands were never madeTo tear each other’s eyes. How doth the little busy beeImprove each shining hour,And gather honey all the dayFrom ev’ryop’ningflow’r.How skilfully she builds her cell!How neat she spreads the wax!!And labors hard to store it wellWith the sweet food she makes.In works of labor, or of skill,I would be busy too;For Satan finds some mischief stillFor idle hands to do.In books, or work, or healthful play,Let my first years be past;That I may give for ev’ry daySome good account at last. Make me, O Lord, thy spinning wheel complete. Thy Holy Word my distaff make for me. Make mine affections thy swift flyers neat And make my soul thy holy spool to be. My conversation make to be thy reel And reel the yarn thereon spun of thy wheel.
