When We think of this country where free

10 all of OUT people the whole country round,
We should be thankful to God, the high and
the low,
We are as highly exalted as any nation we
know.
We've enough and to spare. both for home
aud abroad
IL We all do our duty to man Ald To God
We should be thankful to God when VIC
strength have to toll
In the bowels of earth or on top Q. iAsei.
Let the workman 20 forward WHO t5f's6n
the farm
To bring forth abundance for both beast an
man
And be not discouraged, though 1t be a hard
Job
We live by our labors, We are taught !, by
God.
To my christian brothers who toll In below
To get out the black diamond that our
country might grow
Take care of your earnings they We hard for
to get
know something about it, shall never
forget
Go ON at your calling. 1t may not be long
When your labors shall he over and your
victory won
Since this is our calling and it is SO ordained
We've place in this world like the links In
chain.
To my brothers and sisters out OF tho fold
Living on earths vainest pleasures and starv.
Ing the soul
Pursuing your own course as the prodigal
of old
Afsr off from God, both hungry and cold.
Your Father stands waiting at the mercifnl
gate
Oh, why not come back and of Ills love
parlake
He's waiting to be gracious, why will ye
not Gomez
While tho gospel light shines to guide you
right home.
Listen poor sinner, God asks you why will
ye dieS
by the blood of the cross you can he brought
nigh
IT'S for eternal life, why will ye not runp
To find refuge in Jesus from the great wrath
to come.
You think you can do, what will merit Gods
love,
But great work was finished by Jesus, now
reigning above,
Pray over the matter and study the word
For he who is in the flesh cannot please God
There's but The one way to acceptance with
God
Pointed out very clearly in Gods Holy word
Have faith in Ills Son, be washed in Ills
blood
And Justified by faith have peace with your
God.
Gj work in this vineyard, you arc not in
the dark
And the more you can do, the greater reward
And be not discouraged though Satan may
Use the sword Of the spirit and stand your
ground
We should love this great country, the brave
and the free
We can fight our own battles on land or on
sea.
For We both have the courage as we'll as the
might
To press on to victory by day or by night
Hungry aud cold 10 the knees in the mud
We press into the hottest and stem the great
food
We've faith IN our officers, men Of true blue
With both skill aud courage TO lead the men
through.
We obey the command There is need Of
great dread
But we give them yolley and drive all
ahead
With bsyone, and gun we ore still pressing
on
And we give them charge and sweep The
whole ground.
When Battes are over and victory is won
With the sla;s and the stripes on the highest
ground
And the fathers and mothers who we're pray.

While We fought for our county and no, in
