hymn the singer, accompanying himself the organ,
pressed vigorously the treadlcs he ended the
verse.


II among the older people


You may not be apt TO teach;


"Feed my lambs" said Christ, our Shepherd


place the lood within their reach"


And II may be that the children


You have led with trembling hand,


Wll be found among your jewels,


When you reach the better land


Let none hear you idly saying


There IS nothing can do


While the souls or men are dying.


And the Master calls for you


Take the task He gives you gladly,


Let His work your pleasure be;


Answer quickly when He caleth.


Hear am |; send me, send mel"
