"WALK IN LOVE."
CHILDREN, all along your pathway
Let the light of kindness shine;
Evil thoughts and selfish actions,
Harsh, cold words, and frowns resign.
Jesus loves a heart that's cheerful,
Full of gentle, kindly words;
For the voice of love is sweeter
Than the songs of singing birds.
Kindness cheers the broken-hearted,
Makes the sick and weary smile;
Loving words full oft the sadness
From earth's sorrowing ones beguile.
Then, dear children, e'er speak kindly;
Look to God in humble prayer;
Heaven is growing ever nearer,
Where all things are pure and fair.
Christ, the gracious Saviour, sees you
From his home in bliss above;
Then speak ever kindly, gently;
Darling children, "Walk in love."

A WORK SONG.
To work and to win I am trying,
From day to day;
Because the moments are flying
Swiftly away,
And this of my day is the dawning,
When I must sow
The seed that if sown in the morning
Is sure to grow.
So I'll sow and sing,
In my youth's bright spring;
And I'll sing and sow,
For my seed must grow!
