The Morning Stars Sang Together ‎#56

56. Come ye children!

1 Come ye children
Into our school,
Let us come singing,
Let us come bringing,
Neatness, sweetness,
Into our school.

2 Here we cheer the
Day and the night,
Here we are learning,
With sweet hopes burning,
Springing, clinging,
To the pure light.

3 Read we, heed we
God's loving call;
With all his creatures,
In his great teachers,
Dwelling, telling
God loveth all.

4 Peaceful, blissful,
Joyful we'll be;
Gay while we're youthful,
Evermore truthful;
Take us, make us,
Father, like Thee.
