1 Come, let us learn to sing,
Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si, do;
Loud let our voices ring,
Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si, do;
Let us sing with open sound,
With our voices full and round,
Do, si, la, sol, fa, mi, re, do.

2 This is the scale so sweet,
Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si, do;
Sing it with accent meet,
Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si, do;
First ascend in accents true,
Then descend in order too;
Do, si, la, sol, fa, mi, re, do.

3 O how we love to sing,
Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si, do;
Praise to the' heavenly King,
Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si, do;
Let us learn His face to seek,
Then aloud His praise we'll speak;
Do, si, la, sol, fa, mi, re, do.
