Commandments in Rhyme

I found it! This is the Ten Commandments as I learned them in Sunday School. They are from a very old book called Divine Songs, by Isaac Watts, written in 1715. I think (as apparently did Isaac Watts), that children learn and remember things more easily when done in rhyme or by music.

The TEN COMMANDMENTS out of the Old Testament put into short Rhime for Children.

Exod. 20.

1. Thou shalt have no Gods but me.
2. Before no idol bow thy knee.
3. Take not the Name of God in vain:
4. Nor dare the Sabbath Day profane.
5. Give both thy parents honour due.
6. Take heed that thou no murder do.
7. Abstain from words and deeds unclean:
8. Nor steal, though thou art poor and mean.
9. Nor make a wilful lie, nor love it.
10. What is thy neighbour’s, dare not covet.
