Prayer, prayer, 0 sweet prayer, Be it

ever So simple, there's noth-ing like prayer.

When pleasures would woo us from piety's arms,

The siren sings sweetly, or silently charms;
We listen, love, loiter, are caught in the snare,
In looking to Jesus we conquer by prayer.
Prayer, prayer, &c.

While strangers to prayer, we are strangers to bliss, Heav'n pours its full streams thro' no medium but this!

And till we the seraph's full ecstacy share,

Our chalice of joy must be guarded by prayer.

Prayer, prayer &c.

"TIS NOT TOO SOON." C. M.

With Emphasis, in exact time.

1. Can any one be-gin too soon In ear-ly years to know

2. 'Tis not too soon, when life's begun,
To sicken and to die;

'Tis not too soon, when wrong is done,
To seek for grace on high.

3. 'Tis not too soon, our guilt to own,
In tender, humble prayer,

'Tis not too soon, when we're undone,
To trust a Saviour's care.

4. 'Tis not too soon, the path to shun,
That leads the soul astray;

'Tis not too soon the race to run,
Along the heavenly way.

5. 'Tis not too soon, in childhood's noon,
To put our trust in God;

'Tis not too soon for any one

T'escape the downward road.

1. Mary to the Saviour's tomb,

Hasted at the early dawn;

Spice she brought, and sweet perfume;
But the Lord she loved had gone;
For a while she lingering stood,
Filled with sorrow and surprise;
Trembling while a crystal flood
Issued from her weeping eyes.

2. But her sorrows quickly filed,

When she heard his welcome voice,

Christ has risen from the dead;

Now he bid her heart rejoice;
What a change his words can make
Turning darkness into day!

Ye, who weep for Jesus' sake,

He will wipe your weeping eyes.
