Author: Edith S. Tillotson Hymnal: Sunday School Voices, No.2 #189 (1913) First Line: The old clock stands on the mantle-shelf Refrain First Line: Tick, tock, tick, tock Lyrics: 1 The old clock stands on the mantle-shelf,
And sings the whole day long;
The moments fly and the time goes by
To the measure of its song.
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
Sings the old clock,
Tick, tock, tick, tock;
Be true, be kind,
Joy you will find,
Tick, tock, tick.
2 The old clock says to the little folks,
“Remember what I tell!
Then time’s swift wing will be sure to bring
A happy life to you!”
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
Sings the old clock,
Tick, tock, tick, tock;
Give hope, give cheer,
All day, all year,
Tick, tock, tick.
3 The old clock says to us, one and all,
“Be good, and kind, and true,
Then time’s swift wing will be sure to bring
A happy life to you!”
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
Sings the old clock,
Tick, tock, tick, tock;
Be brave, be strong,
All your life long,
Tick, tock, tick.
