Sabbath Morning

Representative Text

1 Sabbath morning! Sabbath morning!
Welcome, Sabbath morning bright;
Up we rise, we need as warning,
Glad to see its opening light.
Glad to see the sun adorning
With tis beams this Sabbath morning.

2 Sabbath morning! Sabbath morning!
Hearts so blithe and eyes so bright!
Off to school--we need no warning--
Off to school with footsteps light;
Lessons learning, we're adorning
Our young minds this Sabbath morning.
