A song, a song of gladness!

Hymnal: NSSH1870 #153 (1870) Person Name: Samuel Ashmead Lyrics: 1 A song, a song of gladness!-- For, though we here may part, Breathe not a note of sadness; We still are join'd in heart: And long will we remember This happy Sabbath day. 2 Around thy throne of glory, Blest Jesus, angels sing, Telling in all the story Of Christ, the Saviour-King; 'Tis this that tunes our voices This happy Sabbath-day. 3 Send us a parting blessing, O Father, from above; May we, thy grace possessing, He saved, to sing thy love, And spend in heaven, forever, A long and happy day!

Come, let us sing of Jesus

Author: Rev. G. W. Bethune, D. D. Hymnal: NSSH1870 #117 (1870) Person Name: Rev. G. W. Bethune, D. D. Lyrics: 1 Come, let us sing of Jesus, While heaven and accents blend; Come, let us sing of Jesus, The sinner's only friend; His holy soul rejoices, Amid the choirs above, To hear our youthful voices Exulting in his love. 2 We love to sing of Jesus, Who wept our path along; We have to sing of Jesus, The tempted and the strong: None who besought his healing, He pass'd unheeded by; And still retains his feeling For us above the sky. 3 We love to sing of Jesus, Who died our souls to save; We love to sing of Jesus, Triumphant o'er the grave; And in our hour of danger, We'll trust his love alone, Who once slept in a manger, And now sits on the throne. 4 Then let us sing of Jesus, While yet on earth we stay, And hope to sing of Jesus Throughout eternal day: For those who here confess him, He will in heaven confess; And faithful hearts that bless him, He will forever bless. Tune Title: NEWPORT

I'll awake at dawn on the Sabbath day

Hymnal: NSSH1870 #9 (1870) Person Name: Wm. B. Bradbury Lyrics: 1 I'll awake at dawn on the Sabbath day, For 'tis wrong to doze holy time away: With my lessons learned, this shall be my rule-- Never to be late at the Sabbath school. 2 Birds awake betimes; every morn they sing; None are tardy there, when the woods do ring; So when Sunday comes, this shall be my rule-- Never to be late at the Sabbath school. 3 When the summer's sun wakes the flowers again, They the call obey--none are tardy then; Nor will I forget that it is my rule Never to be late at the Sabbath school. 4 But these Sabbath days will soon be o'er, And these happy hours shall return no more; Then I'll ne'er regret that it was my rule Never to be late at the Sabbath school. Tune Title: NEVER LATE

The Bible! the Bible! more precious than gold

Hymnal: NSSH1870 #16 (1870) Person Name: Wm. B. Bradbury Lyrics: 1 The Bible! the Bible! more precious than gold The hopes and the glories its pages unfold; It speaks of a Saviour, and tells of his love; It shows us the way to the mansions above, It shows us the way to the mansions above. 2 The Bible! the Bible! blest volume of truth, How sweetly it smiles on the season of youth! It bids us seek early the pearl of great price, Ere the heart is enslaved in the bondage of vice, Ere the heart is enslaved in the bondage of vice. 3 The Bible! the Bible! we hail it with joy, Its truths and its glories our tongues shall employ; We'll sing of its triumphs, we'll tell of its worth, And send its glad tidings afar o'er the earth. 4 The Bible! the Bible! the valleys shall ring, The hill-tops re-echo the notes that we sing; Our banners, inscribed with its precepts and rules, Shall long wave in triumph, the joy of our schools. Tune Title: THE BIBLE

Come, let us sweetly sing, join in full chorus

Hymnal: NSSH1870 #18 (1870) Person Name: Wm. B. Bradbury Lyrics: 1 Come, let us sweetly sing, join in full chorus, Praise to the mighty King, Him who reigneth o'er us; Once he, a little child, gentle and lowly, Taught us how we should live, loving, pure, and holy. 2 Hail! hail to Him who once slept in a manger, Wandered from place to place, homeless and a stranger, Suffered and died for us,--oh, wondrous story!-- Suffered that we might all dwell with him in glory. 3 O thou, who once didst hear children when singing, Thou, who didst sweetly say, Suffer ye their bringing, From thy bright home above, graciously bending, List to our joyful songs gratefully ascending. 4 Be thou our guard and guide, grant us thy Spirit, Own us as thine at last, through thy perfect merit; Then shall we sweetly sing, in angelic chorus, Praise evermore to Him who shall there reign o'er us.

Little travelers Zionward

Hymnal: NSSH1870 #48 (1870) Person Name: Wm. B. Bradbury Lyrics: 1 Little travelers Zionward, Each one entering into rest, In the kingdom of your Lord, In the mansions of the blest. There to welcome Jesus waits, Gives the crowns his followers win: Lift your heads, ye golden gates, Let the little travelers in. 2 Who are those whose little feet, Pacing life's dark journey through, Now have reach'd that heavenly seat They had ever kept in view? "I, from Greenland's frozen land;" "I, from India's sultry plain;" "I, from Afric's barren land;" "I, from islands of the main." 3 "All our earthly journey past, Every tear and pain gone by, Here together meet at last At the portal of the sky!" Each the welcome "Come" awaits, Conquerors over death and sin: Lift your heads, ye golden gates, Let the little travelers in. Tune Title: LITTLE TRAVELERS

I think, when I read that sweet story of old

Hymnal: NSSH1870 #109a (1870) Person Name: Wm. B. Bradbury Lyrics: 1 I think, when I read that sweet story of old, When Jesus was here among men, How he call'd little children as lambs to his fold, I should like to have been with them then. 2 I wish that his hands had been placed on my head, That his arm had been thrown around me, And that I might have seen his kind look when he said, "Let the little ones come unto me." 3 Yet still to his footstool in prayer I may go, And ask for a share in his love; And if I thus earnestly seek him below, I shall see him and hear him above. 4 In that beautiful place he is gone to prepare For all who are wash'd and forgiven: And many dear children are gathering there, "For of such is the kingdom of heaven.
