Representative Text

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,
Yet our joys would not be full
Had we not the Sabbath School.

2 Lovely is the dawn
Of each rising day;
Lovliest the morn
Of the Sabbath day;
Then our youthful hearts are full
Of the precious Sabbath School,
Then our youthful hearts are full
Of the precious Sabbath School.

3 To our happy ears
Blessed news is brought;
Tidings of the work
Love divine has wrought;
Gracious news and merciful;
How we love the Sabbath School,
Gracious news and merciful;
How we love the Sabbath School.
