When Mary Led the Hymn

| used to 90 TO church, and sit,
Entrenced, to hear the singing;
NV soul upon the waves of it,
Seemed ever upward wlnglng.
I did not hear the organs peal,
The bass, or tenor slim;
The altos voice was but Il squeai,
When Mary led the hymn.
Her pure soprano, high and clear.
Seemed like a song-bird trilling:
1t fell ON my enraptured ear.
Nv very heart strings thrilling,
The world. and all it's load of care,
Seemed far away and dim;
The pearIy gates of heaven were
there,
When Mary led the hymn.
But now, when Mary lifts her voice
To lead, | must dissemble,
The sound that made me once re-
Now sets me all a.tremble.
I sometimes beg of her to cease;
She will not hear my pIeadlng;
At such sad times know no peace.
For I'm the "him" she's leading,
