1. Firmes, sérios, bem a tempo,
À Escola cumpre ir;

Que nos ama com ardor;
Ele, ao pé da cruz, nos mostra
Sua verdade, Seu amor.

3. Avaliando os privilégios
Que o Senhor nos concedeu,
Com o coração submisso,
Seguiremos para o Céu.

4. Quando o estudo terminarmos
Neste vale de clamor,
Entraremos lá na Escola
Sob a guia do Senhor.
