1.                                S. M.                   *Emily Taylor.

                               Invitation.


  1   Come to the house of prayer,
      O ye afflicted, come!
    The God of peace shall meet you there,
      He makes that house His home.

  2   Come to the house of praise,
      Ye who are happy now;
    In sweet accord your voices raise,
      In kindred homage bow.

  3   Ye aged, hither come,
      For ye have felt His love;
    Soon shall ye lift a holier song
      In fairer courts above.

  4   Ye young, before His throne,
      Come, bow; your voices raise;
    Let not your hearts His praise disown,
      Who gives the power to praise.

  5   Thou, whose benignant eye
      In mercy looks on all;
    Who seest the tear of misery,
      And hear'st the mourner's call;

  6   Up to Thy dwelling-place
      Bear our frail spirits on,
    Till they outstrip time's tardy pace,
      And heaven on earth be won.




2.                                P. M.                         H. Ware.

                             Call to Prayer.


  1 To prayer, to prayer!--for the morning breaks,
    And earth in her Maker's smile awakes;
    His light is on all below and above,
    The light of gladness, and life, and love:
    O, then, on the breath of this early air,
    Send upward the incense of grateful prayer.
