To nim that o'ercometh God giveth a crown, Thro' faith we shall conquer, tho' often cast down; He who is our Savior, our strength will renew, Look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through. —Gho.

Opening Song for School. (Tune, "What a Friend We Have in Jesus." Pat's Pick, page 31.) i Mat. Here we gather every morning, In this place to us so dear; To the fount of knowledge coming, We will gladly hasten here. Happy schoolroom, happy schoolroom, Here we meet with friends so true; Here we walk in wisdom's footsteps, Daily learning something new. But our school-days now are fleeting, Like the by-gone days of yore; Soon these happy words of greeting Will be sung by us no more; We'll remember, we'll remember, Those with whom we often meet; And we hope again to see them, In a home of love complete. There we hope to stand with loved ones, On that bright, celestial shore; There to sing sweet songs of worship, And be parted nevermore;
