Hymnal: Linden Harp #114 (1855) Hymnal Title: Linden Harp First Line: Now is it not a pity that such pretty girls and boys Refrain First Line: But I won't stay from school, no, I won't stay from school Lyrics: 1 Now is it not a pity that such pretty girls and boys Should spend their time in idleness, or sporting with their toys? Chorus: But I won't stay from school, no, I won't stay from school; I'm so fond of learning that I will not stay from school. 2 I'm sure they cannot realize what a pleasure 'tis to learn, Or never willingly would they from school and study turn. [Chorus] 3 I wish I could persuade them all, now in their youthful days, To turn away from foolishness, and walk in wisdom's ways. [Chorus] 4 But if they will not come with me, I will not go with them, Lest mingling with bad company, I lose truth's diadem. [Chorus] 5 I'll make my resolutions now, to do whate'er is right, E'er shunning every sinful way, and walking in the right. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: THE TRUANTS
