Representative Text

1 Little child­ren, one and all,
We have heard the Sav­ior call;
In our hearts we hear Him say,
“Keep the holy Sab­bath day.”

Refrain:
In His word, we have heard
Why we ought to love and praise Him;
We can tell why the bell
Sweetly, sweet­ly, rings to­day.

2 Jesus came from Heav’n above,
Bringing par­don, peace and love;
He was slain by cru­el men,
But the Sav­ior lives again. [Refrain]

3 From the grave He rose to­day;
This is why we meet to pray;
This is why we have to sing,
"Glory to our Sav­ior King." [Refrain]

4 Very grate­ful we should be
For His ten­der love so free;
Very sor­ry when we stray
From the pure and per­fect way. [Refrain]
