Lyrics

Come and join our Sun­day School,
Come and you will please us;
Come and learn the gold­en rule,
Come and sing for Je­sus.
Jesus is the child­ren’s friend,
God this Sav­ior gave us;
He will gra­cious bless­ings send,
He will guide and save us.

Refrain

Sing away this hap­py day,
Best of all the sev­en;
Sabbath skies and Sab­bath songs
Speak to us of Heav­en.

Jesus loves the child­ren all,
All may have His fa­vor,
He will hear the wee one’s call,
Precious, gra­cious Sav­ior;
Suffer such to come to Me,
Matters not how ma­ny;
Love is rea­dy, grace is free,
Do not hin­der any.

Refrain

Come along and join our throng,
Little sis­ter, bro­ther;
Bring your lit­tle play­mates, too,
Each one help the oth­er;
Fill the seats with hap­py rows,
No more emp­ty places;
God looks down and each one knows,
By their hap­py faces.

Refrain
