The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#131b

131b. To do to others as I would

1 To do to others as I would
That they should do to me,
Will make me honest, kind and good,
As children ought to be.
The Sunday-school, the Sunday-school!
It is the place I love;
For there I learn the golden rule
Which leads to joys above.

2 I know I should not steal nor use
The smallest thing I see
Which I should never like to lose
If it belong'd to me.
The Sunday-school, the Sunday-school!
It is the place I love;
For there I learn the golden rule
Which leads to joys above.

3 And this plain rule forbids me quite
To strike an angry blow,
Because I should not think it right
If others served me so.
The Sunday-school, the Sunday-school!
It is the place I love;
For there I learn the golden rule
Which leads to joys above.

4 But any kindness they may need
I'll do, whate'er it be;
As I am very glad indeed,
When they are kind to me.
The Sunday-school, the Sunday-school!
It is the place I love;
For there I learn the golden rule
Which leads to joys above.
