Excerpt from Soul Songs It seemeth true that earth is torn and rent. That anguished hearts and shivered souls are spent With pain and glaring grief. It seemeth true that Heaven is shrouded o'er That God's sweet home has closed its door Upon the earth child's woe. It seemeth true that earth is moaning deep That hope and faith and love are locked in sleep And human need forgot.

Excerpt from Songs to Save a Soul Who will buy songs to save a human soul? That's all I have to sell Songs, chiming words, to pay the devil's toll, And slam the gates on hell. Love will not save him now, nor spirit grace, Nor hope that eucklee doubt; I have seen hunger staring on his face And all his flame yon} out. I dare not comfort him my childish tongue Gobbles too conscious lies It is too long ago our faith was young And vision blurred our eyes. That's done with-but by God, it'efunny too Here I stand, youth In my flesh, song in my passionate brain, too true To cell what' 8 his - but truth.

Excerpt from Songs of the Soul When I am struggling so to rise up free, And break the pitiless, heart-bruising bars That stand between my soul and God's great stars, 'tis then you come to me. 'tis then you come and gently soothe the pain, 'tis then you bind the wounds with healing balm, And for your sake, the 'prisoned heart grows calm, And struggles on again.
