And there we learn,

To love the Lord,

And live by the golden rule.

And listen to his word,

We sing and we pray,

On each Lord’s Day

We’re glad to serve the Lord.

We want to grow to be,

Fine men and women too.

So we must know,

What God has said,

And what He wants us to do.

O glad and happy day!

I sit so quietly,

Our church is where I meet my friends,

Who love the Lord like me.
