Childhood's hours

Hymnal: LH1855 #78 (1855) First Line: Amid the blue and starry sky Refrain First Line: Remember, children of the earth Lyrics: 1 Amid the blue and starry sky, A group of hours one ev'n, Met as they took their upward flight Into the highest heav'n. Refrain: Remember, children of the earth, Each hour is on it way, Bearing its own report to heav'n, Of all you do and say. 2 They all were merry childhood's hours, That just had left the earth, Winging their way above the world That gave to them their birth. [Refrain] 3 And they were going up to heav'n, With all that had been done By little children, good or bad, Since the last rising sun. [Refrain] 4 And some had gold and purple wings, Some droop'd like fading flowers; And sadly soar'd to tell the tale, That they were misspent hours. [Refrain] 5 Some glow'd with rosy hopes and smiles, And some had many a tear; Others had unkind words and acts To carry upward there. [Refrain] 6 A shining hour, with golden plumes, Was laden with a deed Of generous sacrifice, a child Had done for one in need. [Refrain] 7 And one was bearing up a prayer, A little child had said; All full of penitence and love, While kneeling by his bed. [Refrain] 8 And thus they glided on, and gave Their records dark and bright, To Him who marks each passing hour Of childhood's day and night.

God everywhere present

Little preachers

Hymnal: LH1855 #79b (1855) First Line: We have no words with which to tell Lyrics: 1 We have no words with which to tell The truths that others teach; And scarcely one would hearken well Unto our childish speech. Yet day by day, if we should try To do the things we know, The wisest that would pass us by, Might wiser, holier grow. 2 Our Saviour, Christ, a lesson taught From lilies in the grass; From little birds, that quick as thought Among the branches pass. And day by day, if we should try To do the things we know, The wisest that would pass us by, Might wiser, holier grow. 3 A wise man, and a holy one, God's blessed word should preach; But if by us his will be done, Some truth may children teach. And day by day, if we should try To do the things we know, The wisest that would pass us by, Might wiser, holier grow. 4 If, when our neighbor does us wrong, An answer kind we make; And bear it patiently and long, A lesson he may take. And day by day, if we should try To do the things we know, The wisest that would pass us by, Might wiser, holier grow. 5 And sinner thus from sinner learns Something that God has taught; And, by a lamp that feebly burns, To holier light is brought. And day by day, if we should try To do the things we know, The wisest that would pass us by, Might wiser, holier grow. Languages: English

Song of praise

Praise to the mighty King, Him who reigneth o'er us: Once, he, a little child, gentle and lowly, Taught us how we should live, loving, pure, and holy. 2 Hail! hail to Him who once slept in a manger! Wander'd from place to place, homeless, and a stranger, Suffer'd and died for us, O wondrous story! Suffer'd that we might all dwell with him in glory. 3 O thou who once did hear children when singing, Thou who didst sweetly say, Suffer ye their bringing, From thy bright home above, graciously bending, List to our joyful songs, Gratefully ascending. 4 Be thou our guard and guide, grant us thy Spirit, Own us as thine at last through thy perfect merit; Then shall we sweetly sing In angelic chorus; Praise evermore to him, who shall there reign o'er us!

The Bible

Hymnal: LH1855 #82 (1855) First Line: The Bible--the Bible! more precious than gold Lyrics: 1 The Bible--the Bible! more precious than gold, The hopes and the glories its pages unfold; It speaks of salvation--wide opens the door-- Its offers are free to the rich and the poor; The Bible! the Bible! blest volume of truth, How sweetly it smiles on the season of youth; It bids us seek early the "pearl of great price," Ere the heart is enslaved in the bondage of vice. 2 The Bible--the Bible! we hail it with joy, Its truths and its glories our tongues shall employ; We'll sing of its triumphs, we'll tell of its worth, And send its glad tidings afar o'er the earth; The Bible! the Bible! the valleys shall ring, And hilltops reecho the notes that we sing; Our banners, inscribed with its precepts and raise, Shall long wave in triumph, the joy of our schools.
