God has said, " For ever blessed Those who seek me in their youth ; They shall find the path of wisdom, And the narrow way o^ truth." Guide us, Saviour, •: -; •• i n '. In the narrow way of truth. Be our strength, for we are weakness, Be our wisdom and our guide j f May we walk in love and meekness, ' ' Nearer to our Saviour's side. Nought can harm us { While we thus in thee abide. Thus, when evening shades shall gather, We may turn our tearless eye To the dwelling of our Father, To our home beyond the sky ; Gently passing To the happy land on high. % Come, join our Band. I We're marching to the promised land, ! A land all fair and bright j ' 1 ^ Come, join our happy youthful band, And seek the plains of light. Oh, come and join our youthful band, Our songs and triumphs share j We soon shall reach the promised land. And rest for ever there. The Saviour feeds his little flock, ' His grace is freely given j The living water from the rock, And daily bread from heaven. Oh, come, &c. In thai bright land no sin is fonnd^ But all are happy there, And youthful voices sweetly blend In the angelic choir. Oh, come, &e. Our teachers kindly point the way, And guide our feet aright To the bright realms of endless day. Where Jesus is the light. Oh, come, &c^ $ I long to be there. IVe read of a world of beauty, Where there is no gloomy night. Where love is the mainspring of duty. And God is the Fountain of light. I long, I long, I long to be there ; I long, I long, I long to be there. I've read of its flowing river, That bursts from beneath the throne, And beautiful trees than ever Are found on its banks alone. I long to be there, &c. To rise to that world of light, And breathe in its balmy air, To walk with the Lamb in white. And sing with the angels there* I l«pg to be there, &c. -^ H ^ ?^ 4 Good Tidings. . r Shout the tidings of salvation To the aged and the young, Till the precious invitation Waken every heart and tongue.

I know there's a crown for the saints of renown, And for saints whose good deeds are unsung ; But oh, say, is it true, iftheir days are but few, That a crown is laid up for the young ? Yes, yes, yes, I know there's a crown for the young; If their lives daily prove that the Saviour they love, I know there's a crown for the young. / 6 Thcyouthful Hlmll Btnnd in that beautiful land, While the Pong of Halvation they Hing, And the infant of dav« Htrilic its harp in the praise Of Iinraanuel, its Saviour and King.

The children are gathering from near and from far, The trumpet is sounding the call for the war ; The conflict is raging, 'twill be fearful and long. We'll gird on our armour, and be marching along. Marching along, we are marching along, Gird on the armour and be marchinjg along ; The conflict is raging, 'twill be fearml and long. Then gird on the armour and be marching along. The foe is before us in battle array. But let us not waver nor turn from the way ; The Lord is our strength, be this ever our song, With courage and faith we are marching along. Marching along, &c. We've 'listed for life, and will camp on the field, With Christ as our Captain we never will yield ; The " sword of the Spirit,'* both trusty and strong, We'll hold in our hands as we're marching along. Marching along, fcc. Through conflicts and trials our crowns we must win, For here we contend 'gainst temptation and sin ; But one thing assures us we cannot go wrong. If trusting our Saviour while marching along. Marching along, &c. 8 8 Speak the Truth. Be the matter what it may, Always speak the truth j Whether work or whether play, Always speak the truth. Never from this rule depart, Grave it deeply on your heart, Written 'tis in Virtue's chart, — Always speak the truth. There's a charm in verity. Always speak the truth j , There is meanness in a lie, Always speak the truth. He is but a coward slave Who, a present pain to waive, Stoops to falsehood : then be brave, Always speak the truth. Falsehood seldom stands alone — Always speak the truth j One begets another one — Always speak the truth. Falsehood all the soul degrades, 'Tis a sin from which proceed Greater sins and darker deeds : Always speak the truth. When you're wrong the folly own. Always speak the truth j Here's a victory to be won j Alway speak the truth. He who speaks with lying tongue ^ Adds to wrong a greater wrong : Then with courage true and strong Always speak the truth. f! d The Prodigal's Betiim. Joy \ jojr I joy f there is joy in heaven with the angels ; Joy I joy I joy I for the prodigal's return t He has come, he has come, To his Father's house at last; He was lost, he is found, And the night of gloom is past.

Joy f joy joy I in the courts of heaven resounding, Joy I joy I joy ! o'er the prodigal's return ; Hark I the song ; hark I the song, 'Tis a joyful, joyful strain. Welcome home, welcome home.

" Give," said the little stream (Give, oh give, give, oh give). As it hurried down the hill. " I am small, I know, but wherever I go (Give, oh give, give, oh give). The fields grow greener still." Singing, singing all the day, Give away, oh, give away. '^ Give," said the little rain, As it fell upon the flowers ; " I will raise the drooping heads again. And freshen the summer bowers." '' Singing, &c. ; " Give," said the violet sweet, ' ' In its gentle, spring-like voice ; ' ! " From cot and hall they will hear my call, They will find me and rejoice." Singing, &c. ' ' - - \ • » 11 *' Give," said they all, " oh, give, For our blessings come from hea^'en. And we fain would give, yes, would only live To give as God has given.'' Singing, &c. Give, then, for Jesus give, There is something all can give : Oh, do as the streams and the blossoms do, For God and others live. Singing, &c. 12 f i*. Do the right. Courage, brother, do not stumble. Though thy path be dark as night j There's a star to guide the humble, " Trust in God, and do the right." Do the right, do the right, " Trust in God, and do the right." Let the road be rough and dreary, And its end far out of sight. Foot it bravely I strong or weary, " Trust in God, and do the right." Do the right, &c. Simple rule, and safest guiding. Inward peace and inward might. Star upon our path abiding, " Trust in God, and do the right." Do the right, &c. Some will hate thee, some will love thee Some will flatter, some will slight j Cease from man, and look above thee, " Trust in God, and do the right." Do the right, But m;y home in heaven Cometh ever near. — Jesus lovesy &c» 16 Battling for the Ijord. We're Ksted in a holjr war. Battling for the Lord ! Eternal life, eternal joy.

The Bible ! the Bible ; blest volume of truth ; • How sweetly it smiles on the season of youth I It bids us seek early the Pearl of great price, Ere the heart is enslaved in the bondage of vice. The Bible ! the Bible ! we hail it with jor, Its truths and its glories our tongues shall employ. We'll sing of its triumphs, we'll tell of its worth. And send its glad tidings afar o'er the earth. 20 Love of Qod How dearly God must \wt us, and thi»poor world of ours^ To spread blue skies above us, and d««k the earth with flowers ; There's not a weed so lowly^ nor bird that cleaves the air. But tells, in accents holy. His kindness and His care. He bids the sun to warm us, and light the path we tread ; At night, lest aught should harm us, He guards our welcome bed; He gives us needfbl clothing, and sends our daily food; His love denies us nothing His windom deemeth good. The bible, too^ He sends us, that tells how Jesus came, Whose word can save and cleanse us from guilt, and sin, and shame. O may God's mercy move us to serve Him with our powers ; For, O, how He must love us, and this poor world of ours. 21 Childhood's Years. Ghildhood^s years are passing o'er us, Youthful days will soon be gone j Cares and sorrows lie before us, Hidden dangers, snares unknown. 'I'll! . 18 O may lie, who, meek and lowly, Trod Himself this vale of woe. Make us His, and make us holy, Guard and guide us where we go. Hark I it is the Saviour calling, ^< Take thy cross and follow me 1" tlesus, keep our feet from falling, Help us all to follow Thee. 22 Our Shepherd. Jesus is our Shepherd, wiping every tear: Folded ill His bosom, wlmt have we to fear? Only let us follow whither He doth lead, To the thirsty desert, or the dewy mead. Jesus is our Shepherd ; well we know His voice. How its gentlest whisper makes our hearts rejoice; Even when it chideth, tender is its tone, None but He shall guide us ; w« are His alone. JesuB is our Shepherd; for the sheep He bled ; Every Iamb is sprinkled with the blood He shed ; • Then on each He setteth His own secret sign. "They that have my Spirit, these," saith He, "are mlne.» Jesus is our Shepherd; guarded by His arm, Though the wolves may rave, none can do us harm ; When we tread death's valley, dark with fearful gloom. We will fear no evil, victors o'er tlie tomh. 23 Humility. The bird that soars on highest wing, Builds on the ground her lowly nest, And she that doth most sweetly sing, Sings in the night when all things rest : — In lark and nightingale we see, What honor hath humility. The saint that wears heaven's brightest crown, In deepest adoration bends ; The weight of glory bends him down Then most, when most his soul ascends :~- Nearest the throne itself must be, The footstool of humiUty. ^ ^^ 24 19 Doing Good. We nil might do gocxl where we often do III, There'a always a, wuy. If we h;ive but the will ; For even a word, kindly breathed or suppreHned, May guard otf some pain, or give peace to some breast. Wc all might do good in a thousand small ways— > Forbearing to Hatter, yet giving due praise ; In spurning ill humour — reproving wrong done, And treating but kindly the heart we have won. We all m'ght do good, whether lowly or great,— A deed is not judged by the purse or estate; If only a cup of cold water is given. Like the mite of the widow, tis something for heaven. 25 Mothers of Salem. When mothers of Salem their children brought to Jesus, The stern disciples drove them back, and bade them depart ; But Jesus saw them, ere they fled, and sweetly smiled, and kindly said — '^ Suffer the children to come unto me." " For I will receive them, and fold them to my bosom, I'll be a Shepherd to these lambs, O drive them not away ; For if their nearts to me they give, they shall with me m in glory live, Suffer the children to come unto me." How kind was our Saviour to bid those children welcome ! But there are many thousands who have never heard His name; Dear Saviour, hear us when w^e pray, that they may hear Thee to them say, " Suffer the children to come unto me." And soon may the heathen, of every tribe and nation. Fultil Thy blessed word, and cast their idols all away. O I shine upon them from above, and show Thyself a God of love. Teach them, dear Saviour, to come unto Thee. 26 Good David. Good David, whose psalms have so often been sung. At first was not noble or grand ; But only a shepherd boy when he was young. Though afterwards king of the land. ^1 20 I 4 He tended his flocki on the pastures by day. And kept them in safety by nieht ; And, tho' a poor shepherd, he did not delay, To do what was holy and right. For while he sat watcldng his sheep in the fold. To guard them from dauber abroad. It then was liis greatest delight, we are told, To thf ^ir of the works af the Lord. Thus seeking so early for knowledge and truth, His childhood in wisdom began; And, therefore, the Lord was the guide of his youth, And made him so mighty a man. So he soon was -nade king, for the prophet foretold. That God meant to hur ur him thus:— O, Lord, may we serve Thee, like David of old, And do Thou be mindful of us. 27 Our Fathers. Tune. — Auld Lang Syne» Our fathers were high-minded men Who firmly kept the faith ; To freedom and to conscience true, In danger and in death. Nor should their deeds he e'er forgot, For noble men were they, Who struggled hard for sacred rights, And bravely won the day. For all they suffered, little cared Those earnest men and wise ; Their zeal for Christ, their love of truth, Made them the shame despise. Oreat names had they, but greater souls, True heroes of their age, That, like a rock in stormy seas, Jefied opposing rage. 7>( And such as our forefathers were May we their children be, \\ 21 And in our hearts their spirit live That batflled tyranny. O we will bear and we will do Whatever must be done, Till for this good old cause of truth The victory shall be won. Sing Praises. Sing with a tuneful spirit, " ' Sing with a cheerful lay ; Praise to thy great Creator, While on the pilgrim way. Sing when the birds are waking, Sing with the morning light j Sing in the sultry noontide, Sing in the hush of night. Sing when the heart is troubled. Sing when the hours are long ; Sing when the storm-cloud gathers j Sweet is the voice of song. Sing when the sky is darkest. Sing when the thunders roll j Sing of a land of glory. And rest for the weary soul. Sing in the vale of shadows, Sing in the hour of death ; And, when the eyes are closing. Sing with the latest breath. Sing till the heart's deep longing Cease on the other shore ; Then with the countless numbers Sing on for evermore. f. 22 29 Close of Day. • ' ! * How pleasant it is at the close of the day, No follies to have to repent ; But reflect on the past, and be able to say. My time has been properly spent. When I've finished my duties with patience and care, And been good and obliging and kind, I lie on my pillow and sleep away there With a happy and peaceable mind. Instead of all this, if it must be confest, That careless and idle I've been ; I lie down as usual and go to my rest. But feel discontented within. Then as I dislike all the trouble I've had, ' This in future I'll try to prevent ; For I never am wayward without being sad, Or good without being content. 30 The Violet. Down in a green and shady bed, A modest violet grew. Its stalk was bent, it hung its head, As if to hide from view. And yet it was a lovely flower, Its colours bright and fair ; It might have graced a rosy bower. Instead of hiding there. Yet there it was content to bloom, In modest tints arrayed ; And there it gave a sweet perfume, Within its silent shade. Then let me to the valley go. This pretty flower to see ; That I may also learn to grow In sweet humility. 81 23 Evening. Come hither and let us behold The sun as he sinks to his rest j The clouds, tipt with crimson and gold, Are spreading all over the west. Let us go to the top of the hill. And watch them come sweeping along j All nature is lonely and still. And the birds have all ended their song. The sun that shone bright all the day. Is now gone quite out of our sight ; And we must now hasten away. For soon 'twill be darkness and night. then like the bright setting sun, May we to our duty attend. Then think on a day well begun And cheerfully welcome the end. 32 True Nobility- It is not gold can make us rich, 'Tis oft an idol shrine j It is not titles make us great, Truo greatness is Divine. There's many a wealthy man is poor. And many a lordling low. For wealth and titles but ensure The pomp of outward show. The lack of gold ne'er makes us poor, If knowledge make us wise ; The want of title ne'er dc grades, If virtue's stamp we prize. There's many a princely throne is rear'd Beside a lowly hearth j And men that Fortune never cheered. Have blest and brightened earth. ill It I II 1 ;2 !lf iJlJil \l^]f 33 24 The Dewdrop. Tune. — The Bucket. How flmall are the dewdropa, those gems of the morning, That bathe with effulgence the field and the flower ; How transient their stay and how brief their adorning, How humble their mission — to shine for an hour ; But think of them rightly, don't speak of them lightly, Because you can brush them by thousands away ; Tho' drops when they're single, They're streams when they mingle And run with the rivers away to the sea. So gifts from the youthful, their pray'rs and their labors, Like dew on the flow'rs, may but ^.rifles appear ; But blend the bright drop with its sliatening neighbors. And streams of refreshment the desert shall cheer. Then, children don't falter. But bring to the altar The word kindly spoken, the mite, or the tear : For grains make the mountain, And drops make the fountain , And moments united will compass a year. Then ever be doing and ever devising ; Don't say, " I'm a child, I will work when a man ;** The season of small things be never despising. But fill up your measure, and do what you can. Don't ever be hoarding, and riches applauding, Keep giving, and you shall have plenty to give : The truest enjoyment is found in employment ; For God and humanity labor and live. 34 Do what you can. Tune. — Beautiful stream. Don't think there is nothing for childi;en to do, Because they can't work like a man ; The harvest is great and the laborers few : Then, children, do all that you can. Then children, do all that you can ; Then children, do all that you can ; The harvest is great and the laborers few ; Then, children, do all that you can. But what if you've naught but a penny to give ? Then give it, though scanty your store ; For those who give nothing when little they have. When wealthy will do little more. Then children, S^c., icket. ming, sr; ing, fly, hen they Eibors, bors, sr.

Then children, &c. 35 Morning Songs, As the birds in shady wild wood Cheer the weary traveller, So the songs of blooming childhood Cheer the heart oppressed with care. Happy voices, happy voices, Precious gift from God above j Happy voices, happy voices, Precious gift from God above. Welcome, hour of pure enjoyment, When the tuneful band unite In the heav'n approved employment Of the ransomed saints in light.

Give me a draught from the crystal spring, When the ripening fruits appear ; When the reapers the song ot the harvest sing. And plenty has crowned the year.

The widespreadingpond, and the mill which stood near it, The bridge, and the rock, where the cataract fell. The cot of my father, the dairy-house nigh it. And e'en the rude bucket which hung o'er the well. The old oaken bucket, The iron-bound bucket. The moss-covered bucket which hung o'er the well. The moss-covered ressel I hail as a treasure; For often at noon when returned from the field, I found it the source of an exquisite pleasure. The purest and sweetest that nature could yield. How ardent I seized it with hands that were glowing, And quick to the white-pebbled bottom it fell. Then soon with the emblem of truth overflowing, And dripping with coolness, it rose from the well ; The old oaken bucket. The iron-bound bucket. The moss-covered bucket, arose from the well. t How sweet from the green mossy brim to receive it, As poised on the curb it inclined,to my lips ; Not a full blushing goblet could tempt me to leave it, Though filled with the nectar that Jupiter sips. And now far removed from the loved situation, The tear of regret will intrusively swell. As fancy reverts to my father's plantation, And sighs for the bucket which hangs o'er the well ! The old oaken bucket. The iron-bound bucket. The moss-covered bucket which hangs o'er the well. 58 Try Again.

Don't go near the bar-room, brother Listen to a sister's prayer, Do not yield to its temptation, — Sin and death are lurking there ; Do not heed the gilded palace, 'Tis a mask the tempter wears, And beneath it frowns destruction, — It will meet you unawares. Don't go near the bar-room, brother, Shun it as an evil place ; It will bring you desolation, — Cover you with deep disgrace. Friends and kindred all around you, Counsel you to pass it by, And the pleadings of a sister, — Strengthen you once more to try. Don't go near the Tbar-room, brother, Touch not, taste not of the wine. There is poison in its contact, — Do not worship at its shrine. Join the grand " teetotal army," Shun the bar-room and the cup, Then we'll work and wait together, — Till the monster shall give up. 76 Stand by the Flag. Oh, unfurl now the Temperance Bar. er, And wave it in triumph on high. And shout, as it gleams in the sunlight, We'll stand by that flag till we die. We know, there are lonely hearts aching. By hearth-stones all shrouded in gloom, j. From which the dark monster. Intemperance,*^ ' Has stolen all brightness and bl6om. • 56 We know there are husbands and fathers, And brothers and lovers to save, From the fiend who is tempting them onward, To fill the inebriate's grave. We cannot stand idle, or careless, We must rally bravely around. We will make the Rum-King surrender, And haul his death-flag to the ground. It is drooping at half-mast already ; Intemperance is losing the fight. And we're still marching on to the rescue, To battle for temp'rance and right ! Then up with the Cold Water Banner, And wave it in triumph on high. And shout, as our columns move onward, ^X We'll stand by our flag till we die. 77 Thanksgiving Hymn. We raise to God a joyful song. For blessings on our work bestowed 5 For growth that made the weak arm strong j For triumphs reaped, where toil was sowed. We praise him for that Star which rose, Long since, upon the drunkard's night. And now with brightest radiance glows,* And blesses thousands with its light. Loud swell the notes of joyful praise, For progress made, and vantage won 5 Intemperaijce counts its waning days, King Alcohol's reign will soon be done I For thousands swell our noble band, To set the tyrant's captives free, pledged heart to heart, and hand in hand, To bear^ur cause to victory I 57 Still to the Power that rules and saves, We'll bring the tneed of praise and thanks, As higher yet our banner waves, And stronger grow our serried ranks. And still to wage the holy fight, Our marshalled hosts shall bravely go, Till all the world shall own the light. And Temperance has no more a foe I } 78 Never give it up. We've fought the battle very long. And now we'll sing a little song, To raise our spirits getting low, For it won't do to give it up so. It will never do to give it up so. It will never do to give it up so, It will never do to give it up so. It will never do to give it up so. We've ha^ a hard and lengthy race, We still keep on the same old pace So long as Rum shall lay men low, It will never do to give it up so. It will never never do, &c. We'-ve met misfortunes on our way. But they have failed our course to stay ; We still keep moving on the track, And never think of turning back. It will never never do, &c. We've tried it hard, we've tried it long. We've tried the speech, we've tried the song, We've tried the mouth, we've tried the pen, If they won't do we'll try them again. It will never never do, &c. i <1 'i 58 79 We've signed the Pledge. Tune — The days we went a gypsying. Come all ye children, sing a song ; Join with us. heart and hand ; Come, make our little party strong, A happy Temperance band ! We cannot sing of many things, For we are young, we know. But we have signed the Temp'rance pledge A short time ago ; But we have signed the Temp'rance pledge, A short time ago. The Band of Hope shall be our name, The Temperance star, our guide j "We will not know the drunkard's shame, The drunkard's drink avoid ; Cold water cannot do us harm. Strong drink may bring us woe. So we have signed, &c. We ask our fa there, too, to come, And join our happy band ; True Temperance makes a happy home, And makes a thriving land. Our mothers we are sure to gain, And all our sisters too. For we have signed, &c. 80 The Drink of Flowers. O the flowers drink at the streamlet's brink, And the oak leaves drink the dew ; And the songsters sing of the sparkling spring, As they soar in the azure blue. O the water cold, with its wealth untold, From the earth outgushing free, As it bubbles and sings from a thousand springs, Is the drink, the drink for me. 59 The sunlight sleeps when the rain king keeps His treasures uplaid in the sky, Or it bids a bow in its beauty glow, Wheu'-the storm sprite passes by. O, the water cold, &c. We'll point to the spring, as we join to sing, And repeat and pledge again, All things we hate, that intoxicate, Is the burden of our strain. O, the water cold, &c. 81 An Appeal. Parent ! who with speechless feeling, j^ O'er thy cradled treasure bent — ' ' Every year new claims revealing, Yet thy wealth of love unspent ; Hast thou seen that blossom blighted By a drear untimely frost — AH thy labor unrequited, Every glorious promise lost ? Wife I with agony unspoken. Shrinking from affliction's rod, — Is thy prop, thine idol broken 5 Fondly trusted, next to God ? Husband ! o'er thy hope a mourner, Of thy chosen friend ashamed — Hast thou to her burial borne her, Unrepentant, unreclaimed ? Child 1 in tender weakness turning, To thy heaven-appointed guide — Doth a lava poison burning Turn to gall affection's tide ? Still that orphan-burden bearing, Darker than the grave can show, Dost thou bow thee down despairing. To a heritage of woe ? i 00 Country I on thy sons depending, Strong in manhood, bright in bloom, Hast thou seen thy pride descending Shrouded to th'unhonored tomb? Rise, on eagle's pinions soaring — Rise ! like one of god-like birth — Rise 1 Jehovah ; aid imploring, Sweep the spoiler from the earth. 82 The Drunkard's Lament, Shades of sorrow, close not o'er me I Leave, oh, leave me yet awhile I Nought but woe I see before me. Woe unsoothed by hope's soft smile j Oh ! how fain would memory linger. Round the scenes of happier years, But despair, with cruel finger, Points to nought save bitter tears. Where are now the happy faces, Wont to greet me with delight ? Where are those who fill'd the places Vacant round my hearth to-night ? Gone, alas I and gone forever. All my deep regrets are vain j I have cast away what never Can return to me again. Love and hope my home adorning, Bathed it in a holy light j Welcome was each rosy morning, Welcome each returning night. Now, how changed ! in lonely sorrow Silent by my hearth J pine, • Careless of the gloomy morrow, Joy no more on me can shine. . ^ ,. 61 1^ ' 4 Those who loved me now are sleeping In their cold and narrow bed ; My remorse, my groans, my weeping, Ne'er can wake the unconscious dead. But a ray illumes my sadness, Hope as long as life extends, 'Tis the pledge ! I'll sign with gladness, So despairful anguish ends. 83 The Drunkard's End. -^ I saw him in his youthful days, methinks I see him now, Wlien health spread out its radiant glow upon his lofty brow ; His spirit moved in lightness, his heart untouched by care. And love had shed its brightest flowers, and carved its image there. I saw him in his youthful days, methinks T see him now. When health spread out its radiant glow upon his lofty brow. And years passed on, I saw that brow, disease and death were there ; The deep carved wrinkles on his face were sculptured hy despair ; Beneath his feet the broken he^irts, his dread unkinduess made — His father, mother, sister, wife, within the churchyard laid. I saw him in his youthful days.. &c. And once again I saw that brow, in dread repose it lay ; Within a coffin's solemn niche returning quick to clay. In solitude the body lay upon its gloomy bier. And death had done its work without the mockery of a tear. I saw him in his youthful days, &c. 84 Sparkling Water, Bright and sparkling wate^ Bursting from the hills ; Rolling down the mountains, Gliding off in rills, Forming into rivers. Widening to the sea j Ah I this sparkling water — Is the drink for me. I 62 85 It gives a wondrous lustre, To the sparkling eye ; And makes the cheeks in Color, With the roses vie. It makes the step elastic, Vigorous and free ; Ah I this sparkling water — Is the drink for me. Yield not to the tempter, For 'twill craze the brain j And fill the youthful body, With weariness and pain. Bring the sparkling goblet. To the fountain free j For this flowing water — Is the drink for me. Would you make your future. Radiant with joy, Would you reap a harvest. Free from all alloy 5 Choose the flowing waters, A bev' rage sweet and free j Which the blessed Giver, Freely giveth thee. We love our Home. Tune. — Home!

Father, in Thy love and mercy, Look upon our temperance band j In a world of sin and danger. Still support us with Thy hand. While to Thee we look for safety. Thou wilt surely guide and bless, And preserve us now and ever In the paths of righteousness. On Thine arm alone depending. Faithful ever may we prove ; Still our onward course pursuing, In the work of truth and love. Let our joyful songs and praises Fill our hearts from day to day, While Thy goodness and Thy mercy Flow to cheer us on our way. 64 87 O God of earth and sky* Tune. — National Anthems Thou God of earth and sky, To Thee we humbly cry; hear from Thy throne, Thou art our Father still, teach U8 Thy perfect will, Guard us from every ill and lead us on.

Fill every heart with love, Our nation's woe remove for evermore, Ai^d not our land alone, but where strong drink has gone Be love and temperance known from shore to shore. ^*. 88 Bise and Shine. Rise and shine o'er every nation, thou temperance star divine ) With thy light bless all creation, Enter every heart and mind j On the drunkard In thy matchless glory shine. Guided by the great Jehovah, Strengthened by His mighty hand j Even drunkards are made sober, See them travel through the land j They shall Jprosper, Joined in one teetotal band. i .. Who will come and join our standard, Help to pull the strongholds down ? Temperance men, unite, come fprward Then the victory is your own ; Heavenly blessing Will your useful labours crown. i 65 89 Gushing Water. Tune. — Rosalie the Prairie Flower, Water aa it gushes through the leafy vale, In the streamlet gliding o'er the dale ; Water as it gushes through the leafy vale, Water is the drink for me. Take away the wine cup, take away the beer, Water, give me water fresh and clear ; Take away the wine cup, take away the beer. Water is the drink for me. Water, it yieldeth vigour and health ; Water's a mine of riches and wealth ; Friend of all creation bounteous and free, Water is the drink for me. Water, as it dances on the pebbly strand, In the summer sunshine looking grand; Water, as it dances on the pebbly strand. Water is the drink for me.— Take away, &c. In the cause of temperance let us all abide ; Let its banners wave on ev ery side ; Spread the cause of temperance, spread it far and wide; Aid the work of truth and love. Take away, ^c. 90 The Temperance Ship. Tune. — Shining Shore, The temperance ship is sailing on In bright and stormy weather, The great and good, the young and old, Are sailing on together.

The temperance ship is sailing on, And friends are kindly greeting, Husbands and wives, and children too, O what a joyful meeting !

J Will you, will you, will you, will you 7" Walk in pretty fly? Will you, will you, will you, will vou Walk in pretty fly ? Will you come shake hands with me ? said the spider to the fly. And do not leave me here like this, to sorrow and to sigh, Said the fly, There's nothing handsome sir, that unto you belongs, I declare you should not touch me sir, n , not with a pair of tongs. Will you, &c. J 72 O wlmt hftndflome wings you've got, said the spidor to the fly, If T only l)nd such wings up Into the air I'd fly ; But there 'tis no use murmuring, it is all idle talk, You can fly up in the air, but I'm obliged to walk. Win you, &c. For the last time now T ask you, will you walk in i)retty fly;' No iC 1 do may T be shot, so I'm ofl' and now ffood bye ; Theu up he stjrings, but both his wings urc iu the web caught last, The spider laughed, Ha I Ha f Ha I Ha f then I've got you safe at last. Will you, &c. And pray how are you nbw, said the spider to the fly ; You flies will never wisdom get; unless you dearly buy : 'Tis vanity that always makes repentance come too late, And those who into cobwebs run, I think deserve their late. Will you, &c. So young and old a warning take from this foolish little fly, For strong drink is the spider, which to catch you fast will try ; And although you may be thinking my advice is very poor, You're on dangerous ground if you are found, around the tap-room door. WiU you, &c. 100 The Settlement of Halifax. Tune. — When we went a Gipsying. In the days of old, when George was king on Britain's honored throne, Our fathers came to seek the land we fondly call our own ; A hundred years ago, and more, their ships came o'er the sea. But we will keep a place for them alive in memory. And every year tlie day we claim more dear to us shall grow, In the month of June, when our fathers came, A long time ago. From Albion's white-cliflfed shores they came, and ver- dant Erin's strand. From Scotia's heathcred hills, and some from German father-land ; A stalwart host of artisans, and vet'rans fresh from war, With sturdy limbs and hopeful hearts they sought their home afar. And every year, &c. ' f 73 They came not forced by rtoapot acts, to loave u cherifihcd home — T'waa enterprise or love of change, that tempted them to roam ; And HtlU to Britain, weal or woe, as Britona they were , true; h ^ The old home kept one-half their love, and half they ffiive th(^ new. And every year, &c. We boast not of the deeds they wrought, to justify our pride ; We know that in the land they chose, they lived, and toiled, and died ; They left ua all a heritage of institutiona free, Time-honored laws and equal rights, the fruits of liberty. And every year, &c. And England's Rose will bloom for us, by Erin's Sham- rock green. And Scotland weave her Thistle leares their friendly But for herself, Acadia's aons, a garland Bhall produce. Entwined of emblems all her own— the Mayflower and the Spruce. And every year, &c. 101 Good Night, Good night to all, good night, The sun at last has gone ; His rays just gild the mountain's height, And night is creeping on. Night grows more dark and deep, Tis time we homeward move ; Good niglit and soon in balmy sleep, We'll dream of those we lore. The birds have hushed their song. Sweet zephyrs cease to blow ; And all is calm save soft along We hear the streamlet flow. Good night to all, good night, How svreet our meetings prove Oft may our heart and voice unite In harmony and love. V Tj; 4 74 102 Won't you Volunteer P Come, boys, come g\T\%, won't you volunteer ?
