What's That You're Singing
We sing "Sweet Hour of Prayer" and are content with five to ten
minutes a day.
We sing "Onward Christian Soldiers" and wait to be drafted into His
service.
We sing "O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing" and don't use the one we
have.
We sing "There Shall be Showers of Blessing " but do not come when it
rains.
We sing "Blest Be the Tie That Binds" and let the least little offence
sever it.
We sing "Serve the Lord with Gladness" and gripe about all we have to
do.
We sing "I Love to Tell the Story" and never mention it at all.
We sing "The Whole Wide World for Jesus" and never invite our next-
door neighbor.
We sing "O Day of Rest and Gladness" and wear ourselves out traveling,
cutting grass, or playing golf on Sunday.
We sing "Throw Out the Lifeline" and content ourselves with throwing
out a fishing line.
