We are little children, <br />That go to Sabbath school, <br />To hear of our Redeemer, <br />Likewise the golden rule. <br /> <br />We will try and do our duty, <br />To friends and parents dear, <br />We will try and do our duty, <br />Their loving hearts to cheer. <br /> <br />CHORUS: <br /> <br />We are little children, <br />That love to go to school, <br />We love to hear of Jesus, <br />And learn the golden rule. <br /> <br />We will love our parents, <br />With all our little hearts; <br />Yes, we will obey them, <br />We will not from duty part, <br /> <br />For oh, we know they love us, <br />Though wayward we may be -- <br />Their heart it never changes, <br />From our little infancy. <br /> <br />We will love our schoolmates, <br />Likewise our teacher, dear, <br />For loving words of kindness <br />From them we often hear. <br /> <br />And we will not forget them, <br />Those friends so kind and true, <br />For in the ten commandments <br />They tell us what to do.<br /><br />Julia A Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/children-s-reply/
