Hymnal: Linden Harp #116 (1855) First Line: Don't you hear the school-bell ringing? Refrain First Line: We're a band of singers Lyrics: 1 Don't you hear the school-bell ringing?
Don't you hear the school-bell ringing?
Don't you hear the school-bell ringing?
Calling us to school!
Chorus:
We're a band of singers,
We're a band of singers,
We're a band of singers,
And we'll sing our cheerful songs.
2 We will mind our dearest teachers,
We will mind our dearest teachers,
We will mind our dearest teachers,
And do as they wish. [Chorus]
3 We must try to learn our lessons,
We must try to learn our lessons,
We must try to learn our lessons,
We will learn them well. [Chorus]
4 We'll take pains with our reading,
We'll take pains with our reading,
We'll take pains with our reading,
We will do our best. [Chorus]
5 Try again, shall be our motto,
Try again, shall be our motto,
Try again, shall be our motto,
And we shall succeed. [Chorus]
6 We will never say, I cannot,
We will never say, I cannot,
We will never say, I cannot.
Though the task be hard. [Chorus]
7 We will always say, I cannot,
We will always say, I cannot,
We will always say, I cannot,
When tempted to sin. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: CHEERFUL SONGS
