Sing with Me (1969), p. B-20
Stairway to Lasting Joy

1. Children: There’s a beautiful stairway that we would climb, Leading upward to lasting joy. There are steps to be taken along the way, that help ev’ry girl and boy. We must love and have faith, we must try to obey, We must lengthen our learning and we must pray, For true joy everlasting awaits us there, when we’ve climbed up each beautiful stair.

2. Teachers: We are they who will guide you and teach you truth, As you climb up the beautiful stair. Oh, the way is not hidden from eager youth, For we will be standing there. If we live as we teach, and you learn to obey, You will climb up the stairway for this is the way. All: And the joy everlasting that waits us there, is for all who would climb that stair.
