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 0:4 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. O Almighty Giv-er! Bounti-ful and free, As the joy in har- vest, We rejoice in Thee. Amen. 256 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 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; Clad in heavenly armor to the end endure; You with Christ shall triumph, victory is sure.-REF. |
