Been a Listening.

[_]

The following poem is scored for music in the source text.

Been a listening all the night long,
Been a listening all the night long,
Been a listening all the night long,
To hear some sinner pray.

1.

Some say that John the Baptist was nothing but a Jew,
But the Holy Bible tells us he was a preacher too.

2

Go read the third of Matthew, and read the chapter through,
It is the guide for Christians, and tells them what to do.

CHO.—

Been a listening all the night long, etc.
