1. When the rosy light of morning Softly beams above the hill; And the birds, sweet heavenly songsters, Every dell with music fill, Fresh from slumber we awaken; Sunshine makes the heart so gay; Nature breathes her sweetest fragrance On the holy Sabbath day.
Then away, haste away; Come away to the Sunday School; Then away, do not delay; Come away to the Sunday School.
2. For a good and glorious purpose Thus we meet each Sabbath day, Each one striving for salvation Through the Lord’s appointed way. Earnest toil will be rewarded; Zealous hearts need not repine; God will not withhold his blessings From the eager, seeking mind.
Then away, haste away; Come away to the Sunday School; Then away, do not delay; Come away to the Sunday School.
3. Let us then press boldly onward, Prove ourselves as soldiers true; He will lead us, he will guide us. Come, there’s work for all to do; Never tiring, never doubting, Boldly struggling to the end, In the world, though foes assail us, God will surely be our friend.
Then away, haste away; Come away to the Sunday School; Then away, do not delay; Come away to the Sunday School.
