SOMETHING TO DO.

By D. H. SANBORN

THERE is something for every Christian to do, To keep the commandments of God; The pathway of life with success to pursue, The footsteps that Jesus has trod. There is something to do; there is something to do; There is something for Christians to do. Those who walk in the footsteps that Jesus has trod, Have, certainly, something to do.

We must gather the little ones into the fold, We must gather and bring them to God; For they are more precious than jewels of gold; They may be the jewels of God. We must gather with Him; we must gather with Him: We must gather the children to God. We must gather with Jesus, the Saviour, or else We surely shall scatter abroad.

There's a star-bedecked diadem waiting for you; Oh! say, will you wear it or no? Will you follow the Saviour, and to him prove true? Will you follow through weal and through woe? Then, there's something to do; there is something to do; There is something for Christians to do. If that bright, starry crown shall e'er rest on your brow, You, brother, have something to do.

We learn that the Saviour is coming full soon— Is he coming for me and for you? Will he give us the welcome applaudit, Well done? Will he say it? and will it be true? Then we've something to do; we have something to do; There is something for Christians to do. Those who hear from the Saviour the welcome, Well done, Have, certainly, something to do.

Oh! why stand we halting and waiting so long? Oh! why sit we idle all day? Why join with the world in its gay, thoughtless throng? Why trifle probation away? Is there nothing to do? Is there nothing to do? Is there nothing for Christians to do? There's a world to be warned of its hastening doom; Oh! isn't there something to do.
