I love the sweet birds, and the fields, and the flowers,
In beauty so charmingly dressed;

But there's purer delight in the still sacred hours,
For my dear Sunday School is the best,
My dear Sunday School is the best,
My dear Sunday School is the best.
But there's purer delight in the still sacred hours,
For my dear Sunday School is the best.

Then I'll sing of my school, and the Sabbath I love,
Bright emblems of heavenly rest;

Thou Guide of my youth-thou Saviour divine l
Oh, bring me to share in that rest,
Bring me to share in that ree,

Bring me to share in that rest.
Thon Guide of my youth-thou Saviour divine!
Oh, bring me to share in that rest.

4 I'm a traveler, and I go Where all is fair;
Farewell, all I've loved below-I must be there.
Worldly honors. hopes, and gain, All I resign;
Welcome sorrow, grief, and pain, If heaven be mine.

2 I'm a weary traveler here, I must go on
For my journey's end is near, I must be gone.
Brighter joys than earth can give, Win me away;
Pleasures that for ever live-I can not stay.

3 I'm a traveler to a land Where all is fair,
Where is seen no broken band-All, all are there.
Where no tear shall ever fall. Nor hearts be sad
Where the glory is for all, and All are glad.

5 I'm a traveler-call me not-Upward my way;
Yonder is my rest and lot; I can not stay.
Farewell, earthly pleasures all. Pilgrim I'll roara.
Hail me not-in vain you call Yonder's my home.
