We long for Sunday School. - O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,

Does manifest in thee. - O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,

That God, the Father Almighty,
Poured His blessing on Thee - O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
Though the sun be so bright,
Or if the clouds be black with rain,

Without my being blest?
