“REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY.”
I love the Sabbath day,
Of all the days the best;
Thy sacred hours are sweet to me,
Oh, day of holy rest!
I love the Sabbath bell,
It says, “Do not delay;
Hasten, dear children, from your homes;
Come, worship God to-day.
I love the Sabbath School;
Oft, as I take my seat,
I pray that early I may learn
To sit at Jesus’ feet.
Oh, blessed Sabbath day,
Thou best of all the seven;
Thy precious hours I would improve,
To fit my soul for heaven!
CHARLIE AND HIS YOUTHFUL TEACHER.
“Come, now, my dear boy, confess what you’ve done,
To your loving, kind Father on high;
You cannot conceal from the All-seeing One
The fact that you’re telling a lie.”
So said the young teacher of Birmingham school,
To Charlie, when no one was nigh;
She grieved that her pupil had broken a rule,
Still more that he’d told her a lie.
