104. The School

1 Our youthful hearts for learning burn,
We love to go to school;
To science now our feet we turn,
We love to go to school;
Farewell to home and all its charms,
We break from loves paternal arms;
We love our school, we love our school,
We love to go to school.

2 Behold, a happy band appears,
We love to go to school;
The sound of joy now fills our ears,
We love to go to school;
Our free and happy hearts rejoice,
And music rings from every voice;
We love our school, we love our school,
We love to go to school.

3 We gladly now resign our play,
We love to go to school,
To study we devote the day,
We love to go to school.
United in a peaceful band,
We're joined in hearts, we're joined in hand,
We love our school, we love our school,
We love to go to school.

4 Our teachers are so very kind,
We love to go to school,
Much pleasure there each day we find,
We love to go to school.
Now in the morning of our days.
We'll learn to walk in wisdom's ways,
We love our school, we love our school,
We love to go to school.
