CALL TO SABBATH SCHOOL.
Oh! hark unto this liberal call;
For you are all invited,
And if you stay away I know,
The children will be slighted.
For you are all invited,
And if you stay away I know,
The children will be slighted.
Oh! why not come into the school—
For you may be a teacher;
Of all the beauties of the day,
This is the brightest feature.
For you may be a teacher;
Of all the beauties of the day,
This is the brightest feature.
The President will sure be there,
And that will be exciting,
And a short lecture I will give,
If you will be confiding.
And that will be exciting,
And a short lecture I will give,
If you will be confiding.
The children will together meet,
They 'll look to see your coming,
While birds and bees within the grove,
Will greet you with their humming.
They 'll look to see your coming,
While birds and bees within the grove,
Will greet you with their humming.
The school will meet at three o'clock,
A pleasant time to spend,
And when we hear the clock strike five,
Our exercise will end.
A pleasant time to spend,
And when we hear the clock strike five,
Our exercise will end.
