To Sabbath school, to Sabbath school

1 To Sabbath-school, to Sabbath-school,
Ye children, haste away;
Be early at the Sabbath-school,
And never stop to play,
And never stop to play.

2 To Sabbath-school, to Sabbath-school,
This day so calm and bright,
Be ready at the Sabbath-school
Your lesson to recite.

3 To Sabbath-school, to Sabbath-school,
The teacher's voice obey,
And listen at the Sabbath-school,
To every word they say.

4 To Sabbath-school, to Sabbath-school,
It is the place of prayer;
Be solemn at the Sabbath-school,
For God himself is there.
