As I was one day loitering along the busy street, Chewing the cud of fancy, the bitter and the sweet, A swell of lively music came floating on the air, The tumultuous beat of drum and the trumpets' loud fanfare 'Twas the bold Salvation Army that was marching along, Drawing after in its train the usual motley throng.
And the drum said "Come! You have trifled long enough," Said The Army's noisy drum.
Then strange, unwonted feelings came rising in my brain, Feelings that were partly pleasure, and feelings partly pain; Thoughts of days of childhood, of prayers by mother's knee, Of resolutions broken, and of longings to be free.
All came rushing o'er the memory, while conscience loudly spake Of evil things that bound me, of chains which I must break. And the drum said "Come! You have lingered long enough," Said The Army's noisy drum.
