Musical Lives

By J. W. McCord

SET your life to music, brother, Don't leave out the minor key; Sorrow's touch is skillful, brother, Striking chords of sympathy. Joy and sorrow have their pleasure, Both possess some magic power; Learn the secret of their treasure, It will cheer some lonely hour.
Set your life to music, brother, Knowing, ere you touch a key, That the Christian only, brother, Truly sings life's melody. Tears and laughter, joy and pleasure, In love's setting, sweetly lay; Life becomes a golden measure When music crowns the pilgrim's way.
— J. W. McCord.
