SCHOOL SONG
by Mother Ada Drushal

 

1.   There's a pleasant little valley,
     By a quiet and peaceful stream,
     That is loved by men and maidens far and wide,
     And 'tis there amid the mountains,
     In the little valley green,
     Stands the school we love the best,
                                                      dear Riverside.

2.  Hark, we hear the old bell calling,
     Duty's call we must obey,
     Tho its chimes fall now on many a thoughtless ear,
     Hours of sweetest joys pass quickest,
     Let us cherish while we may,
     All that's ours now to bless each coming year.

 

  

 

CHORUS:
As old Troublesome doth glide past our dear Riverside,
It reminds us that our lives speed quickly on,
So we'll labor while we may and improve each passing day,
For our days at Riverside will soon be gone.

3.  In the years of life before us,
     There will come full many a day,
     When both duty's call and pleasures seem so strong,
     When tempted and discouraged,
     Our Christ will send a ray,
     That will light our feet away from paths of wrong.
