I am resolved no longer to linger,
Charmed by the world’s delight,
Things that are higher, things that are nobler,
These have allured my sight.
Refrain
I will hasten to Him, hasten so glad and free;
Jesus, greatest, highest, I will come to Thee.
I will hasten, hasten to Him, hasten so glad and free;
Jesus, Jesus, greatest, highest, I will come to [...]

Upon a tree with serrated leaf, I found,
A fresh nut growing, smooth and round.
It had grown all summer, at its best,
But September still found it far from rest.
Its shape was right, its form – “No sweat.”
But maturity it was striving for, and
Hadn’t reached there yet.
Its size told that, a little small,
Give it time, “Rome wasn’t [...]

A mistake is a thing you did when you knew no better; a sin is a thing you did when you did know better…the motive determines the morality of the act.

MY SON
He is little and small,
Maybe two feet tall.
The hair is blond on his head;
That’s not brown, but its better than red.
He doesn’t talk yet, not very much,
‘Course, that doesn’t make him easy to hush.
His legs are bowed a little bad,
But that just makes him like his dad.
He has some ways that are pretty [...]

When the toils of life are over,
And we lay our armor down,
And we bid farewell to earth with all its cares,
We shall meet and greet our loved ones,
And our Christ we then shall crown,
In the new Jerusalem.

There’ll be singing, there’ll be shouting

In Jerusalem, in Jerusalem,

Winter is almost synonymous
With a four letter word: Snow.
It seems that the first cannot be,
Without the other to blow, and blow.
Sometimes it comes down
As downy as pillow fluff,
Nearly as large as pennies and dimes
And, OH! such beautiful “stuff.”
When it lights on your sleeve,
Or your tall hat or coat,
Its structure marvelous and crystalline,
But, ah, Don’t [...]
