FIRST-FRUITS FOR GOD.

By J. W. Cochran

First-fruits for God—of corn and vine, Of tree or bush, of sheep or kine; Of all that men call mine and thine— The first and best for God.

First-fruits for God—of daily toil, What hands have gathered from the soil, Or brains have wrought by midnight oil— The first and best for God.

First-fruits for God—from stores and trade, From ships and railroads lending aid, From all that factories have made— The first and best for God.

First-fruits for God—for this new year, We'll give Him all we hold most dear; We'll try to spend it in His fear— The first and best for God.

—J. W. Cochran.
