Come Sing in Joyful Praise

CHARLOTTE M. ROBERTS

Come sing in joyful praise, O happy throng! Sing forth in honor of God's holy name; Lift up your heads, ye halt, ye blind, ye lame; And doubtful ones who say, "I would be strong," Awake! awake! and sing a grateful song.

Taking Offense

LESLIE C. BELL

Cold and gray in the valleySullenly lies the mist,Till the sun comes over the mountainsAnd turns it to amethyst;Then it lifts and billows and lightens,And slowly it melts away,And the splendor of hill and valleyStands clear in the light of day.

A Prayer

RUTH C. FORTSON

God give me strength to live my lifeAs Thou intendest it to be—Not bound by avarice or by strife,From harshness and oppression free;Above the grasp of greed for wealth,Above the foolish urge for place,Above the bickerings and the stealthThat only lead to self-disgrace.
