28 Moral Songs originally written for children by Isaac Watts. These songs have been re-worked with more simple language for use with Family Worship or Home Schooling. This song book includes a scripture index and a meter index. Each song suggests a meter with companion scripture.

From the Preface
These Divine Songs may be a pleasant and proper matter for
their daily or weekly worship, to sing one in the family at such
time as the parents or governors shall appoint; and therefore I have
confined the verse to the most usual psalm tunes.
The greatest part of this little book was composed several years
ago, at the request of a friend, who has been long engaged in the
work of catechizing a very great number of children of all kinds,
and with abundant skill and success. So that you will find here
nothing that savors of a party: the children of high and low
degree, of the Church of England or Dissenters, baptized in infancy
or not, may all join together in these songs. And as I have
endeavored to sink the language to the level of a child’s
understanding, and yet to keep it (if possible) above contempt; so I
have designed to profit all (if possible) and offend none. I hope
the more general the sense is, these composures may be of the more
universal use and service.
May the Almighty God make you faithful in this important work of
education: may he succeed your cares with His abundant graces, that
the rising generation of Great Britain may be a glory amongst the
nations, a pattern to the Christian world, and a blessing to the
earth.
Isaac Watts (1674 - 1748)
