104b. I'll rise up early in the morning

1 I'll rise up early in the morning.
The morning of the Sabbath day,
I'll rise up early in the morning,
And haste to Sabbath school away.

Chorus:
For oh, I love the Sabbath-school,
The Sabbath-school, the Sabbath-school.
For oh, I love the Sabbath-school,
The precious Sabbath-school.

2 While there I'll listen to my teacher,
And treasure up what he may say,
While their I'll listen to my teacher,
As up to heaven he points the way.
For oh, I love my teacher dear,
My teacher dear, my teacher dear,
For oh, I love my teacher dear,
So good and kind to me.

3 I'll learn my lesson in the Bible,
And try to practice what I learn;
I'll learn my lesson in the Bible,
And every sinful way will shun.
For oh, I love that blessed book,
That blessed book, that blessed book,
For oh I love that blessed book,
So full of grace and truth.

4 Then I'll not trifle any longer
Nor throw my precious hours away,
Then I'll not trifle any longer,
But go to Christ without delay;
And dwell with him in heaven above,
In heaven above, in heaven above--
And dwell with him in heaven above,
A heaven of joy and love.
