Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. Sabbath morning comes with gladness, Little hearts are filled with joy; Father’s blessings banish sadness, Pleasure’s here without alloy. See, with smiling, rosy faces, Boys and girls clothed in their best, Hast’ning on to fill their places, At their teacher’s kind request.
2. O’er the earth the sun is shining, Truth shines in the Sabbath School; List the Priesthood clear defining, Precepts like the golden rule. Let us each be unobserving Of the other’s faults, and strive Goodness to increase unswerving, Like the bees within a hive.
3. May our Father’s care be o’er us, Guardian angels ever nigh, Thro’ life’s journey go before us, Lead us to the courts on high. Principles our souls inspiring, That were destined men to save, Onward progress, never tiring, In the life beyond the grave.
