But if ye force away

What is as our own life-blood dear,

We still with joy could say:

"The words that we have learn'd while young Shall follow all our days:

For they're engraven on our hearts,

And you cannot erase."-We 'll not, &c.

4. We'll not give up the Bible-
We'll shout it far and wide,
Until the echo shall be heard
Beyond the rolling tide,
Till all shall know that we, the young,
Withstand each treacherous art;
And that from God's own sacred word
We'll never, never part.-We 'll not, &c.

WE'LL NOT FORGET THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.

1. WE'LL not forget the Sunday school,
This hallowed, much-loved place;

Tho' friends and scenes around us change,
And time flies on apace:

We'll think how oft the precious seed
Was sown in faith and prayer,

When we were thoughtless-took no heed
Of our kind teachers' care.

2. We'll not forget the Sunday school,
Where hope of sins forgiven,

Through Him alone, who came to die,

Allured our souls to heaven:

There blood-bought ones, 'mid angels bright,
The heavenly prize have won,
And clad in robes of purest white,
Shine glorious as the sun.

3. We'll not forget the Sunday school,
Which taught us to beware

Of Satan's foul, deceitful arts,
Our youthful souls to ensnare:
We'll wrestle hard with God in prayer,
And seek his gracious aid;
And, once obtain'd, we need not fear
But conquest shall be made.

4. We'll not forget the Sunday school,
Nor friends that here we found,
Who strove to lead us home to God-
To them our hearts are bound:
We'll follow in their footsteps here,
And teach, and sing, and love:
Keep them and us, Lord, in thy fear,
Till we shall mount above!

AWAY TO SABBATH SCHOOL.

1.

The morning sun is bright and clear; Away to Sabbath school; {

Let each one in his class appear; Away to Sabbath school; ( 'Tis there we learn his holy word, And In season let us all be there; Away to Eabbath school; 2.That we may join the opening prayer, Away, &c.
