| Text: | All the week we spend |
| Tune: | RISING DAY |
| Composer: | E. Roberts |
1 All the week we spend,
Full of childish bliss,
Every changing scene
Brings its happiness;
Yet our joys would not be full,
Had we not the Sabbath School,
Had we not the Sabbath School.
2 Lovely is the dawn
Of each rising day,
Loveliest the morn
Of the Sabbath day;
Then our youthful hearts are full
Of the precious Sabbath School,
Of the precious Sabbath School.
3 To our happy ears
Blessed news is brought,
Tidings of the work
Love divine hath wrought,
Gracious news, and merciful:
How we love the Sabbath School!
4 Swiftly fades the light
Of each passing day;
Peaceful is the night
Of the Sabbath day;
Then our hearts with praise are full
For the precious Sabbath School.
