Children, love one another

Hymnal: LH1855 #136 (1855) Tune Title: [A little girl, with a happy look] First Line: A little girl, with a happy look Lyrics: 1 A little girl, with a happy look, Sat slowly reading a pond'rous book, All bound with velvet, and edged with gold, And its weight was more than the child could hold. Yet dearly she loved to ponder it o'er, And every day she prized it more: For it said--and she look'd at her smiling mother, It said, "Little children, love one another." 2 She thought it was beautiful in the book, And the lesson home to her heart she took; She walk'd on her way with a trusting grace, And a dovelike look in her meek young face, Which said just as plain as words can say, The Holy Bible I must obey; So, mamma, I'll be kind to my darling brother, For "Little children must love each other. 3 I'm sorry he's naughty, and will not play, But I'll love him still, for I think the way To make him gentle and kind to me, And loving, as children ought to be, Will be to do what I think is right; And thus, when I kneel in prayer to-night, I will clasp my arms around my brother, And say, "Little children, love one another." 4 The little girl did as her Bible taught, And pleasant, indeed, was the change it wrought, For the boy look'd up in glad surprise To meet the light of her loving eyes: His heart was full--he could not speak-- But he press'd a kiss on his sister's cheek; And God look'd down on the happy mother, Whose "little children loved one another."

A pilgrim

Hymnal: LH1855 #47 (1855) Tune Title: A PILGRIM First Line: I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger Lyrics: 1 I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger, I can tarry, I can tarry but a night; Do not detain me, for I am going To where the streamlets are ever flowing; I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger I can tarry, I can tarry but a night. 2 There the sunbeams are ever shining, I am longing, I am longing for the sight; Within a country unknown and dreary, I have been waiting, forlorn and weary: I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger, I can tarry, I can tarry but a night. 3 Of that country to which I'm going, My Redeemer, my Redeemer is the light; There is no sorrow, nor any sighing Nor any sin there, nor any dying: I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger, I can tarry, I can tarry but a night.

A soft answer

Hymnal: LH1855 #76 (1855) Tune Title: A SOFT ANSWER First Line: O speak softly to thy comrade Lyrics: 1 O speak softly to thy comrade, When the waves of passion madly Roll forth in angry word, Or prompt the vengeful blow; Do thou good for evil, render, Else thou shalt remember sadly, That heaven the strife will see; Thy Father all will know, His law may not be broken, His word is clearly spoken: Whoso hateth thee, befriend him, As God befriendeth thee. 2 Cast thou oil upon the waters, Let thy voice like David's music Drive forth the evil thought, Thy friend doth cherish now, When is calm'd the raging tumult, O thy voice he'll not refuse it, So see thou harm him not, Nor scornful bend the brow: Thy Father hath commanded, Thy Father doth reward thee, And thou gainest now a brother, Who else were lost to thee.

Why are we not all happy then

Hymnal: LH1855 #127 (1855) Tune Title: ALL FOR THE BEST First Line: Say, mother, why do people weep Lyrics: 1 Say, mother, why do people weep, With grief and sorrow prest? Do they not know that God will keep, And rule all for the best? Chorus: Why are we not all happy then, And feel that we are blest? We know we have a Father God, Who does all for the best. 2 While thou, my mother, art so kind, Obeying God's behest, And he so kind to leave me thee, I'll trust all's for the best. [Chorus] 3 Yet e'en thou should'st leave the world, Like father, and the rest, The Lord will take me up and show That all is for the best. [Chorus] 4 Tho' troubles should assail us hard, And all our patience test: Yet afterwards we see they were Directed for the best. [Chorus] 5 Yes, over all our Father sees, He's present, east and west; He guides our steps, protects our ways, And always for the best. [Chorus] 6 Then, mother, weep no more, but pray For faith to fill your breast; To think, as I have heard you say, God ruleth for the best. [Chorus] Languages: English

Away to school

Farewell to home, and all its charms, We break from love's paternal arms. Away to school, away to school, Away, away to school. 2 Behold! a happy band appears, Away, away to school; The shout of joy now fills our ears, Away, away to school. The voices ring, the hands they wave, Each heart rebounds with vigor brave. Away to school, away to school, Away, away to school. 3 No more we walk, no more we play, Away, away to school; In study now we spend the day, Away, away to school. United in a peaceful band, We're join'd in heart, we're join'd in hand; Away to school, away to school, Away, away to school. Languages: English

Be kind to loved ones

Hymnal: LH1855 #98 (1855) Tune Title: [Be kind to thy father, for when thou wert young] First Line: Be kind to thy father, for when thou wert young Lyrics: 1 Be kind to thy father, for when thou wert young Who loved thee so fondly as he? He caught the first accents which fell from thy tongue, And join'd in thy innocent glee. Be kind to thy mother, for lo! on her brow, May traces of sorrow be seen! O well mayst thou cherish and comfort her now, for loving and kind hath she been. 2 Be kind to thy brother,--his heart will have dearth If the smile of thy love be withdrawn; The flowers of feeling will fade at their birth If the dew of affection be gone, Be kind to thy sister, not many may know The depth of true sisterly love, The wealth of the ocean lies fathoms below The surface that sparkles above. 3 Be kind to thy teacher, the burden she bears Is wearing her spirits away. No price for her labors so precious appears As the kindness she meets day by day. Be kind to thy schoolmates, not long canst thou be With schoolmates to study, or play; Thy kindness will make thee more happy and free When school-pleasures vanish away. Languages: English

Buy the truth

Hymnal: LH1855 #72 (1855) Tune Title: BUY THE TRUTH First Line: Go thou, in life's fair morning Lyrics: 1 Go thou, in life's fair morning-- Go in the bloom of youth-- And buy, for thine adorning, The precious pearl of truth: Secure this heav'nly treasure, And bind it on thy heart; And let not worldly pleasure E'er cause it to depart. 2 Go, while the day-star shineth; Go, while thy heart is light; Go, ere thy strength declineth, While every sense is bright: Sell all thou hast, and buy it; 'Tis worth all earthly things-- Rubies, and gold, and diamonds, Scepters, and crowns of kings. 3 Go, ere the clouds of sorrow Steal o'er the bloom of youth; Defer not til tomorrow: Go now, and buy the truth. Go, seek thy great Creator, Learn early to be wise: Go, place upon his altar A morning sacrifice. Languages: English

Childhood's hours

Hymnal: LH1855 #78 (1855) Tune Title: CHILDHOOD'S HOURS 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. [Refrain] Languages: English
