Begin at Once.
Begin at once! In the pleasant days,
While we are all together,
While we can join in prayer and praise,
While we can meet for healthful plays,
In the glow of summer weather.
Begin at once, with heart and hand,
And swell the ranks of our happy band.
While we are all together,
While we can join in prayer and praise,
While we can meet for healthful plays,
In the glow of summer weather.
Begin at once, with heart and hand,
And swell the ranks of our happy band.
Begin at once! For we do not know
What may befall to-morrow!
Many a tempter, many a foe
Lieth in wait where'er you go,
With the snare that leads to sorrow.
Begin at once! nor doubting stand,
But swell the ranks of our happy band.
What may befall to-morrow!
Many a tempter, many a foe
Lieth in wait where'er you go,
With the snare that leads to sorrow.
Begin at once! nor doubting stand,
But swell the ranks of our happy band.
Begin at once! There is much to do;
Oh, do not wait for others!
Join us to-day !—be brave and true;
Join us to-day !—there's room for you,
And a welcome from your brothers.
Begin at once! for the work is grand
That God has given to our happy band.
Oh, do not wait for others!
Join us to-day !—be brave and true;
Join us to-day !—there's room for you,
And a welcome from your brothers.
Begin at once! for the work is grand
That God has given to our happy band.
Begin at once! In the strength of God,
For that will never fail you!
Under His banner, bright and broad,
You shall be safe from fear and fraud,
And from all that can assail you.
Begin at once,—with resolute stand,
And swell the ranks of our happy band.
For that will never fail you!
