THE SONG OF THE THREE HOLY CHILDREN.

The tendency of the arrangement of the Song proper is to descend from generals to particulars. It has a refrain at the end of each verse, slightly differing in those preliminary verses which are addressed to the Lord Himself, and wanting in the last three. The rendering of the refrain in the preliminary verses does not seem vary happy in its English (A.V. and R.V.).
