2. The blessed Bible there engages
Each youthful heart and eye,
To learn of God's own holy pages
The wisdom from on high.

3. And surely He, who feeds the flowers
With heaven's own morning dew,

Will send on our young hearts the showers
Of heavenly blessing too.

4. Then let us gladly gather round him,
And love him while we may,

For they who seek have always found him,
E'en in their early day.

5. And when life's Sabbaths all are ended,
We all may meet above,
Where he for us hath now ascended,
Our Father's house of love.

7. 10s, 7s & 58.

1. WHEN the morning light drives away the night,

With the sun so bright and full,

And it draws its line near the hour of nine,
I'll away to the Sabbath-school:

For 'tis there we all agree,

All with happy hearts and free,
And I love to early be

At the Sabbath-school.

I'll away! away! away! away!
I'll away to the Sabbath-school.

2. On the frosty dawn of a winter's morn,
When the earth is wrapp'd in snow,

Or the summer breeze plays round the trees,
To the Sabbath-school I'll go;
When the holy day has come,

And the Sabbath-breakers roam,
I delight to leave my home
For the Sabbath-school.
I'll away, &c.

3 In the class I meet with the friends I greet,
At the time of morning prayer;
And our hearts we raise in a hymn of praise,
For 'tis always pleasant there:
In the Book of holy truth,
Full of counsel and reproof,
We behold the guide of youth,
At the Sabbath-school.

I'll away,

&c.

4. May the dews of grace fill the hallow'd place, And the sunshine never fail,

While each blooming rose which in memory

grows

Shall a sweet perfume exhale:

When we mingle here no more,
But have met on Jordan's shore.
We will talk of moments o'er
At the Sabbath-school.

I'll away, &c.

8. 10s.

1. I'LL awake at dawn on the Sabbath-day, For 'tis wrong to doze holy time away; With my lessons learn'd, this shall be my rule,

Never to be late at the Sabbath-school.

2. Birds awake betimes, every morn they sing, None are tardy there when the woods do ring;

So when Sunday comes this shall be my rule,

Never to be late at the Sabbath-school.

3. When the summer's sun wakes the flowers again,

They the call obey,- -none are tardy then;
Nor will I forget that it is my rule

Never to be late at the Sabbath-school.

4. But these Sabbath-days will soon be o'er, And these happy hours shall return no more; Then I'll ne'er regret that it was my rule Never to be late at the Sabbath-school.

9. 8s & 6s, (Peculiar.)

1. THE morning sky is bright and clear,
Away to Sabbath-school;

Let each one in the class appear;
Away to Sabbath-school:

"Tis there we learn his holy word,
And find the road that leads to God.
Away, away, away, away,
Away to Sabbath-school.

SCHOLARS.

2. When each at night shall go to prayer,
We'll ask our God above

T'extend o'er teachers his kind care,
And crown them with his love.

And when on earth our time is sped,
And we are number'd with the dead,

SCHOLARS AND TEACHERS.

If faithful, we shall meet above,
We all shall meet above.

1. AWAY from home to school we come,
Upon this holy day;

In faith and love we look above,
And humbly praise and pray.
Oh, let this hour to God be given!
Let every heart be raised to heaven;
And while in youth we learn the truth,
May we the truth obey!

2. Our teachers dear, we meet you here, And share your faithful care;

Oh, may each heart its thanks impart,
In grateful, earnest prayer

That God may crown with joys above
Your patient toil and works of love;
And that at last, life's changes past,
We all may meet you there.

11. H.M.

1. COME, let us gladly sing
To God our Saviour-King;
With thanks his presence seek,

In psalms his praises speak;

He's God most high: let all draw nigh,
And crown him Lord of earth and sky.

2. He gave the mountains birth, He made the spacious earth; His are the sea and land: They rose at his command. With reverence all before him fall, And on his name devoutly call.

3. Come, kneel before his throne, For he is God alone;

We are the flock he leads,

The sheep his bounty feeds; To-day, to-day, his voice obey; Grieve not the Holy Ghost away.

12. S. M.

1. LORD, fix our wandering thoughts,
Thy sacred word to hear
With deep attention and with love,
With reverence and with fear.

2. Let us remember still

That God is present here;
And let our hearts be all engaged
When we draw near in prayer.

3 And when the humble notes
Of praise our lips employ,
Give us to taste the sweet delight
Which saints in heaven enjoy.

4. Oh, may thy sacred word

Sink deep in every breast,
And let us all by grace be brought
To Christ, the promised rest.
