IF WE TRY.
We can learn a useful lesson From a single drop of dew, For it sparkles to remind us How to make our whole-life true. We should never waste our moments —■ They are quickly passing by; To improve them is a duty— We can do it, if we ttry. Let us drop a gentle warning By the wayside as we go, And, perhaps, the germ of kindness In a careless heart we grow; Let our seed be sown at morning, For the night is drawing nigh; There's a harvest for the faithful— We may share it, if we try. As the bee is never idle, And the brook is never still; In the pleasant field of labor There's a place we all may fill. Then be ready for the Master; Ho is coming, by-and-by; There are starry crowns in glory, Wo may wear them, if we try.
