Author: Mrs. H. E. Brown Hymnal: The Silver Chime #24 (1862) First Line: I am so happy all day long Refrain First Line: My heart with joy and praise is full Lyrics: 1 I am so happy all day long,
I cannot keep from singing;
Glad words are ever on my tongue,
And pleasant tho'ts are springing;
Chorus:
My heart with joy and praise is full,
For O, I love the Sabbath School,
For O, I love the Sabbath School,
For O, I love the Sabbath School.
2 Fly swift, ye weekdays, come and go,
And bring the holy morning;
I rise, with pleasure all aglow,
To greet its earliest dawning;
Chorus:
My heart with joy and praise is full,
For O, I love the Sabbath School,
For O, I love the Sabbath School,
For O, I love the Sabbath School.
3 Like music sound the sacred bells
That call me to my teacher;
Such kindness in her bosom dwells,
It shines in ev'ry feature.
Chorus:
My heart with joy and praise is full,
For O, I love the Sabbath School,
For O, I love the Sabbath School,
For O, I love the Sabbath School.
4 Alas for children, far and near,
Who have no Sabbath teaching;
O, will not some kind friend appear,
With tender arm outreaching.
Chorus:
All angel-like and merciful,
To give to them a Sabbath School,
For give to them a Sabbath School,
To give to them a Sabbath School. Tune Title: [I am so happy all day long]
