Linden Harp ‎#17a

17a. Singing school

1 O, what a lovely thing
It is to learn to sing,
And chant our Saviour's praise:
Our sweet enjoyment here
Makes every moment dear,
While chanting these sweet lays.
Will you, will you, will you, will you come to singing school?
Will you, will you, will you, will you come to singing school?

2 My heart doth here aspire,
With ardent, warm desire,
To be like saints above,
Where every heart and voice
In sweetest songs rejoice,
And praise a Saviour's love.
Will you, will you, will you, will you come to singing school?
Will you, will you, will you, will you come to singing school?

3 My soul within doth burn,
While I true virtue learn,
And tender feelings gain;
Then what a lovely thing
It is to learn to sing,
Where love and friendship reign.
Will you, will you, will you, will you come to singing school?
Will you, will you, will you, will you come to singing school?
