And spend all life in serving Thee. MARIANNE FARNINGHAM. A (Specially Contributed.) THERE'S a glorious work before us, A work both great and grand; Every man at once should join us, 2 There are drink-bound slaves around us, We must snap the bonds that bind them, There are wives and mothers weeping We shall do it by and by. 3 There are crowds of little children We must raise them from their darkness, We shall do it by and by. 4 There's the huge and cursed system We shall do it by and by.
