Grant me yet another hour;
Earthly pleasures I would prove,
Earthly joy, and earthly love;
Scarcely yet has dawned the day,
Sweetest Spirit, wait, I pray."

Sixth and Ninth Hours.
The morn wears

Oh, loiterer, speed thee!

apace;

Then squander no longer thy remnant of grace;
But haste while there's time! with thy Master

agree;

The Lord of the vineyard stands waiting for
thee!

"Gentle Spirit, prithee stay,
Brightly beams the early day;
Let me linger in these bowers;
God shall have my noontide hours;
Chide me not for my delay,
Gentle Spirit, wait, I pray!"

Eleventh Hour.

Oh, sinner, arouse thee! thy morning has pass'd;
Already the shadows are lengthening fast;

The Lord of the vineyard yet waiteth for thee!
"Spirit, cease thy mournful lay;
Leave me to myself, I pray!

Earth hath flung her spell around me,
Pleasure's silken chain has bound me;
When the sun his path hath trod,
Spirit, then I'll turn to God!"

Hark! borne on the wind is the bell's solemn

toll:

'Tis mournfully pealing the knell of a soul

Of a soul that despised the kind teachings of C. A. B........ truth,

And gave to the world the best hours of its youth;

The Spirit's sweet pleadings and strivings are o'er ;

The Lord of the vineyard stands waiting no more !
