13990. The Sabbath School

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!

2 Lovely is the dawn
Of each rising day;
Loveliest the morn
Of the Sabbath day;
Then our infant thoughts 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!

4 Sweetly fades the light
Of each passing day;
Peaceful is the night
Of the Sabbath day;
Then our hearts with praise are full
Of the precious Sabbath school!
