WILL YOU COME TO THE SPRING?

1. Will you come to the spring that is sparkling and light, Where the birds carol sweetly, the 2. Then the cup runneth o'er with the pur-est of drink, And as sweet as the

roses that

sunset is bright? Will you, will you, will you, will you come to the spring? Will you, will you bend from the brink. Will you, &c.

will you, will you come to the spring?

3 Let it flow, lovely stream, it will surely impart,

Both a new glow to beauty and peace to the heart; Will, &c.

4 When the gay flowerets droop in the noon-summer's heat, Or the bright dew descending restores every sweet; Will, &c.

I5 With new blessings of life it forever o'erflows,

It refreshes all nature wherever it goes. Will you, &c.

TEMPERANCE SONG.

47

Arr. for this work.

1. A glorious day is breaking Upon our sinful earth; Our land to life is waking, With shouts of joy and mirth;

9-4

Our army is preparing To meet the rising sun, On all its banners bearing The name of WASHINGTON.

2 We meet to-day in gladness,

As moves our host along;
No note of painful sadness
Is mingled with our song.
This day, renowned in story,-
The day of Freedom's birth,-
We hail in all its glory;

We highly prize its worth.
3 The temperance flag is waving,
O'er valley, hill, and plain,
Where ocean's sons are braving
The dangers of the main:

The pledge, the pledge is given
To float on every breeze;
Waft it, propitious Heaven!

O'er all the earth and seas.

4 Our cause, our cause is gaining
New laurels every day;
The youthful mind we're training
To walk in virtue's way;
Old age, and sturdy manhood,
Are with us heart and hand;
Then let us, all united,

In one firm phalanx stand.

To see if children were at play,
Some boys were seen on Sabbath day,
A playing, playing;

Sad, awful day!

Chorus. Then away, away!

We can't wait any longer; Away! away! To Sunday School!

Hail, happy day! CHORUS.
