The Singing school

Hymnal: The Little Minstrel #108 (1867) First Line: O what a lovely thing Lyrics: 1 O what a lovely thing It is to learn to sing, And chant our Maker's praise; Our sweet enjoyment here, Makes every moment dear, While learning these loved lays. 2 Come, join our singing school, And learn to sing by rule, Each joyful song of praise; Come, every cheerful heart, And bear an active part, In sweet melodious lays. 3 Our hearts do here aspire, With ardent, warm desire, To be like saints above; Where every heart and voice, In sweetest songs rejoice, And praise God's glorious love. 4 Our souls within do burn, While we true virtue learn, And tender feelings gain; Then what a lovely thing It is to learn to sing, Where love and friendship reign.
