71. We Can Tell

1 Little child­ren, one and all,
We have heard the Sav­iour call;
In our hearts we hear Him say,
“Keep the holy Sab­bath day.”

Chorus:
In His word, We have heard
Why we ought to love and praise Him;
We can tell Why the bell
Sweetly, sweet­ly, rings to­day.

2 Jesus came from heav’n above,
Bringing par­don, peace and love;
He was slain by cru­el men,
But the Sav­iour lives again. [Chorus]

3 From the grave He rose to­day;
This is why we meet to pray;
This is why we have to sing
Glory to our Sav­iour King. [Chorus]
