is smile is welcome, in His arms our rest,
In His truth our treasure, in His word our rule,
Growing up for Jesus, in our Sunday School.
Growing up for Jesus, till in Him complete,
Growing up for Jesus, oh! His work is sweet;
In His truth our treasure, in His word our rule,
Growing up for Jesus, in our Sunday School.
"Not too young to love Him, little hearts beat true,
Not too young to serve Him, as the dew drops do.
Not too young to praise Him, singing as we come,
Not too young to answer, when He calls us home.
Growing up for Jesus, learning day by day,
How to follow onward in the narrow way;
Seeking holy treasure, finding precious truth,
Growing up for Jesus in our happy youth."
--Pres. Board Publication.
OUR HAPPY LAND
A Favorite Children's Chorus.
Land of children, birds and flowers,
What a happy land is ours!
Here the gladdest bells are rung,
Here the sweetest songs are sung.
With Thy banner o'er us,
Join we all in chorus,
Land of children, birds and flowers
What a happy land is ours.
Let us keep it so we pray,
Drive the clouds of sin away;
Father by Thy love divine
Make us, keep us ever Thine.
With Thy banner o'er us, etc.
Keep us Lord from day to day
In the straight and narrow way.
May it be our chief delight,
To walk upright in Thy sight;
With Thy banner o'er us, etc.
What a happy land
What a happy land is ours,
Here the gladdest bells are rung,
Here the sweetest songs are sung;
Freedom's banner o'er us,
Join we all in chorus,
Land of children, birds and flowers,
What a happy land is ours.
THE ARCH
The arch, which appears on another page, illustrates in a very striking
manner the mutual dependence of all the stones, representing the
divinely appointed elements of character, on their crown, the keystone,
which represents the Sabbath or fourth commandment, the connecting link
between the first and second tables of the law and the visible bond of
every man and nation to his Creator.
When the keystone has been placed in position the arch will sustain
considerable weight, but if it be removed nearly all of the other stones
tumble to the floor in a confused heap. T
