Teach Me to Love

GISEL A. BAUMGART

Teach me to love,    Forget illusive wrongs;Teach me to praise    With grateful, joyous songs;Teach me to think    A gracious, kindly way,Teach me, dear God,    In Love alone to stay.

Awake, Thou That Sleepest

ALMA G. V. HARRISON

AWAKE ! for light saileth abroad on the wings of the morning;Awake! for life reigneth, and cometh with joy hand in hand;And with clarion voice, Truth speaketh of wisdom and warning,And love, over all, at the portals of heaven doth stand.
