Opening Hymn

Another Sab­bath day has come

Another week is o’er;

And we

a grate­ful

hap­py throng

Are ga­thered here once more:

We meet to sing of Je­sus’ love

And bow to Him in pray­er

We meet to read His ho­ly Word

And learn our du­ty there.

Our Sun­day school

our Sun­day school;

No place on earth so dear!

How ma­ny pre­cious souls have found

The way to glo­ry here;

And now around the shin­ing throne

They wait for us to come

And share with them the fade­less love

Of their eter­nal home.

Oh

may the seed thus ear­ly sown

Spring up on good­ly ground

And in our hearts

our souls and lives

May fruit of grace abound—

Immortal fruit

that yet shall bloom

In para­dise ab­ove

Where we

with those now gone be­fore

Shall sing re­deem­ing love.
