| Christian he cried what is your stock in trade | A |
| Alas Too often nil No time to pray | B |
| No interview with Christ from day to day | B |
| A hurried prayer maybe just gabbled through | C |
| A random text for any one will do | C |
| Then gently lovingly with look intense | D |
| He leaned towards us | E |
| Is this common sense | D |
| No person in his rightful mind will try | F |
| To run his business so lest by and by | F |
| The thing collapses smirching his good name | G |
| And he insolvent face the world with shame | G |
| - | |
| I heard it all and something inly said | H |
| That all was true The daily toil and press | I |
| Had crowded out my hopes of holiness | E |
| Still my old self rose reasoning | J |
| How can you | C |
| With strenuous work to do | C |
| Real slogging work say how can you keep pace | K |
| With leisured folks Why you could grow in grace | K |
| If you had time the daily Interview | C |
| Was never meant for those who wash and bake | L |
| - | |
| But yet a small Voice whispered | M |
| For My sake | L |
| Keep tryst with Me | N |
| There are so many minutes in a day | B |
| So spare Me ten | O |
| It shall be proven then | O |

| Lord if I do | C |
| Set ten apart for You | C |
| I dared yes dared to reason thus with Him | Q |
| The baker's sure to come | R |
| Or Jane will call | S |
| To say some visitor is in the hall | S |
| Or I shall smell the porridge burning yes | I |
| And run to stop it in my hastiness | I |
| There's not ten minutes Lord in all the day | B |
| I can be sure of peace in which to watch and pray | B |
| - | |
| But all that night | T |
| With calm insistent might | T |
| That gentle Voice spake softly lovingly | N |
| Keep tryst with Me | N |
| You have devised a dozen different ways | I |
| Of getting easy meals on washing days | I |
| You spend much anxious thought on hopeless socks | I |
| On moving ironmould from tiny frocks | I |
| 'Twas you who found | U |
| A way to make the sugar lumps go round | U |
| You who invented ways and means of making | J |
| Nice spicy buns for tea hot from the baking | J |
| When margarine was short and can not you | C |
| Who made the time to join the butter queue | C |
| Make time again for Me | N |
| Yes will you not with all your daily striving | J |
| Use woman's wit in scheming and con triving | J |
| To keep that tryst with Me | N |
| - | |
| Like ice long bound | U |
| On powdered frosty ground | U |
| My erring will all suddenly gave way | B |
| The kind soft wind of His sweet pleading blew | C |
| And swiftly silently before I knew | C |
| The warm love loosed and ran | V |
| Life giving floods began | V |
| And so most lovingly I answered Him | Q |
| Lord yes I will and can | V |
| I will keep tryst with Thee Lord come what may | B |

| ENVOY | W |
| - | |
| It is a wondrous and surprising thing | J |
| How that ten minutes takes the piercing sting | J |
| From vexing circumstance and poison ous dart | X |
| Hurled by the enemy straight at my heart | X |
| So to the woman tempest tossed and tried | Y |
| By household cares and hosts of things beside | Y |
| With all my strength God bids me say to you | C |
| Dear soul do try the daily Interview | C |
