Wen call upon the treasurer
OF our good Ladies Aid.
All, said the men, the way to
heaven
Is long and hard and steep;
With slopes of care on either side,
The path it's hard to keep.
We cannot climb the heights alone;
Our hearts are sore dismayed
We ne'er shall get to heaven at all
Without The Ladies' Aid!'
