Isaac Watts - Against Quarreling and FightingIsaac Watts - Against Quarreling and Fighting
Work rating:
Low
Let dogs delight to bark and bite,
For God hath made them so:
Let bears and lions growl and fight,
For `tis their nature, too.
But, children, you should never let
Such angry passions rise:
Your little hands were never made
To tear each other`s eyes.
Let love through all your actions run,
And all your words be mild:
Live like the blessed Virgin`s Son,
That sweet and lovely child.
His soul was gentle as a lamb;
And as his stature grew,
He grew in favor both with man,
And God his Father too.
Now, Lord of all, he reigns above;
And from his heavenly throne
He sees what children dwell in love,
And marks them for his own.
