<p>Another Sabbath day has come,<br>
Another week is o&#8217;er;<br>
And we, a grateful, happy throng,<br>
Are gathered here once more:<br>
We meet to sing of Jesus&#8217; love,<br>
And bow to Him in prayer,<br>
We meet to read His holy Word,<br>
And learn our duty there.</p>
<p>Our Sunday school, our Sunday school;<br>
No place on earth so dear!<br>
How many precious souls have found<br>
The way to glory here;<br>
And now around the shining throne<br>
They wait for us to come<br>
And share with them the fadeless love<br>
Of their eternal home.</p>
<p>Oh, may the seed thus early sown<br>
Spring up on goodly ground,<br>
And in our hearts, our souls and lives<br>
May fruit of grace abound&#8212;<br>
Immortal fruit, that yet shall bloom<br>
In paradise above,<br>
Where we, with those now gone before,<br>
Shall sing redeeming love.</p>
