ms M0THER'S SONGS.
From rhc rrIands Of Cod"

Beneath the hot midsummer sun
The men had marched all day,
And now beside 4 ripping stream
Upon the grass they lay
firing of games and die iests,
As swept the hours along,
They called to one who unused apart,
Come, friend, give Us song
II fear cannot please, he said
The only songs | know
Arc those my mother used to sing
For me long years ago.
'Sing one Of those. . u rough voice cried,
"rhcrc's none but true men here
To every mothers son Of us
A mothers songs are dear"
Ihcn swectly rose the singers voice
Amid unwanted calm,
"Am | a soldier OF the Cross,
4 follower of the Lamb
"And shall! | fear to own His cause
The very stream was stil!ed,
And hearts that never throbbed with fear
With tender thoughts were filled.
Ended The song, the singer said,
AS to his feet he rose,
Thanks you all, my friends goodnight,
God grant us sweet reposc.
Sing us once more, . the captain begged
The soldier bent his head.
Then glancing round, with smiling lips,
You'll join with me, ne said.
"We'll sing this Old familiar air,
sweet as the bugle call,
All hail the power of Jesus name,
Let angels PROSTATE fall. "
All wondrous was the old tuuos spell
As on the singer sang;
Man after man fell into line, -.
And loud the voices rang.
The songs are done, the camp is still,
Nanght but the stream IS heard;
But ali the depths Of every soul
BY those old hymns are stirred.
And up from many n bearded lip,
III whispers soft and low,
Rises the prayer the mother taught
Her boy long years ago.
