The school-bell

Hymnal: Linden Harp #139 (1855) First Line: O say, little girl, whither now are you going? Lyrics: James 1 O say, little girl, whither now are you going? Whither now are you going, to work or to play? Julia I'm bound to the school-room, the school-bell is ringing, For I must be studying my lessons today: Hear it ring! hear it ring! So, quick as a thought, I'll be bounding away. James 2 O say, little boy, whither now are you running? I wish this fine morning with me you would stay,-- Thomas: I am bound to the school-house, my teacher is waiting, The bell it is ringing, I must not delay! Hear it ring! hear it ring! And I have no time now to loiter and play. All. So we all must hasten, our bright faces bringing, Engaged in our sport we no longer must stay,-- Much better our sweet songs at school to be singing Than wasting in play the best part of the day, While the bell, while the bell Calls all with sweet music to hasten away. Languages: English Tune Title: [O say, little girl, whither now are you going?]

The Eden above

Hymnal: The Minstrel of Zion #94 (1845) First Line: We're bound for the land of the pure and the holy Lyrics: 1 We're bound for the land of the pure and the holy, The home of the happy--the kingdom of love; Ye wanderers from God in the broad road of folly, Oh! say, will you go to the Eden above? Will you go? Will you go? Oh! say, will you go to the Eden above? 2 In that blessed land neither sighing nor anguish Can breathe in the fields where the glorified rove; Ye heart-burden'd ones who in misery languish, Oh! say, will you go to the Eden above? Will you go? Will you go? Oh! say, will you go to the Eden above? 3 Nor fraud, nor deceit, nor the hand of oppression, Can injure the dwellers in that holy grove; No wickedness there--not a shade of transgression, Oh! say, will you go to the Eden above? Will you go? Will you go? Oh! say, will you go to the Eden above? 4 No poverty there;--no, the saints are all wealthy,— The heir of His glory whose nature is love; Nor sickness can reach them--that country is healthy; Oh! say, will you go to the Eden above? Will you go? Will you go? Oh! say, will you go to the Eden above? 5 Each saint has a mansion prepared and all furnish'd, Ere from this clay house he is summon'd to move; Its gates and its towers with glory are burnish'd; Oh! say, will you go to the Eden above? Will you go? Will you go? Oh! say, will you go to the Eden above? 6 March on, happy pilgrims, that land is before you, And soon its ten thousand delights we shall prove; Yes, soon we shall walk o'er the hills of bright glory, And drink the pure joys of the Eden above; We will go: we will go: Oh! yes, we will go to the Eden above. 7 And yet, guilty sinner, we would not forsake thee, We halt yet a moment, as onward we move; Oh! come to thy Lord--in his arms he will take thee, And bear thee along to the Eden above: Will you go? Will you go? Oh! say, will you go to the Eden above? 8 Methinks thou art now in thy wretchedness saying, Oh! who can this guilt from my conscience remove? No other but Jesus; then come to him praying, Prepare me, O Lord, for the Eden above; Will you go? Will you go? At last, will you go to the Eden above? Tune Title: THE EDEN ABOVE
