THE CHILD'S INVITATION.
[A School Song, 1846.]
Come children young and gay,
Come, come to school;
Leave off awhile your playing,
And come, come to school.
O, what a happy sight—
Children young, with spirits bright,
In harmony unite,
All, all in school.
Come, come to school;
Leave off awhile your playing,
And come, come to school.
O, what a happy sight—
Children young, with spirits bright,
In harmony unite,
All, all in school.
Would you improve your minds,
Come; come to school.
If wisdom you would find,
Come, come to school.
Should hope of art or skill,
Now your youthful bosoms fill,
With steadfast mind and will,
Come, come to school.
Come; come to school.
If wisdom you would find,
Come, come to school.
Should hope of art or skill,
94
With steadfast mind and will,
Come, come to school.
Though wintry tempests blow,
Come, come to school.
Fear not the drifting snow,
Come, come to school.
Cold winds will quickly fly,
Snowy clouds will soon pass by;
Shrink not, nor heave a sigh,
But come, come to school.
Come, come to school.
Fear not the drifting snow,
Come, come to school.
Cold winds will quickly fly,
Snowy clouds will soon pass by;
Shrink not, nor heave a sigh,
But come, come to school.
While you are young and fair,
Come, come to school.
While you are free from care,
Come, come to school.
O, do not destroy
All your time in childish joy;
E're sin your hearts decoy,
Come, come to school.
Come, come to school.
While you are free from care,
Come, come to school.
O, do not destroy
All your time in childish joy;
E're sin your hearts decoy,
Come, come to school.
