Go aud carry the news,

Here is a sacred song which is particularly adapted to the in- 

 dolent habits of life of this idle people. A heaven which neces- 

 sitated labor would have very little attraction for them: 



Come along my sister, come along, 

 Come along my sister, come along, 

 For the angels say there's nothing to do 



But to ring the charming bell. 

 We arc almost gone, we are almost gone, 



But the angels say there's nothing to do
