1. Earth be-low is teem-ing, Heaven is bright a-bove; Every brow is beaming 2. For the sun and show-ers, For the rain and dew, For the nurturing hours 3. Earth's broad harvest whitens In a brighter sun Than the orb that lightens

In the light of love; Ev-ery eye re- -joices, Every thought is praise; Spring and summer knew; For the golden au-tumn, And its precious stores, All we tread up - on; Send out laborers, Father! Where fields ripening wave,

REFRAIN.

Hap-py hearts and voices Gladden nights and days.
For the love that brought them Teeming to our doors.
All the na-tions gather, Gath-er in and save.

O Almighty Giv-er!

Bounti-ful and free, As the joy in har- vest, We rejoice in Thee. Amen.

ONWARD, CHILDREN! ONWARD!

1. Onward, children! Onward! leave the paths of sin; Hasten to the straight gate, 2. Onward, children! Onward! in the narrow way, Christ, your Lord, shall lead you 3. Onward, children! Onward! seek no cross to shun; Mind when night approaches

strive to en- - ter
safely day by
that your work is

in; None can knock un-heed-ed, none can strive in vain, day; And with such a Leader, what have you to fear? done; That you may, with gladness, as life closes here,

4 Onward, children! Onward! guardian angels sing;
Hasten to the palace of your God and King;

Clad in heavenly armor to the end endure;

You with Christ shall triumph, victory is sure.-REF.
5 Onward, ever onward! till you join the throng,
Who, in dazzling raiment, sing the triumph-song,
And to heavenly music cry with one accord,-
"Holy! Holy! Holy! is our sovereign Lord."-REF.
