Bless those little children That love to go to school; Blessed be the children That obey the golden rule. Children, love your parents, For they have cared for you; When you were little infants They watched and prayed for you. CHORUS: Bless those little children That go to Sabbath school, For they hear of Jesus, And learn the golden rule. Prayed that you might some day Give a pleasant smile, Be a comfort in their old age, And be a loving child. Now my little children, Be cheerful in your song, And make your home an Eden, For all the day long. Chorus -- Love your little school-mates, Be gentle in your play, Be kind to your teachers, And their commands obey. Oh! then you will be happy In the bright world to come, For then your friends will love you Forever, little ones. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE THREE CHILDREN by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN CHILDREN SELECTING BOOKS IN A LIBRARY by RANDALL JARRELL COME TO THE STONE ... by RANDALL JARRELL THE LOST WORLD by RANDALL JARRELL A SICK CHILD by RANDALL JARRELL CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS ON THE DEATH OF FRIENDS IN CHILDHOOD by DONALD JUSTICE THE POET AT SEVEN by DONALD JUSTICE ANDREW JACKSON by JULIA A.
