Laurels, fresh laurels, for the Sunday School we bring;

They will bloom in fadeless verdure

Through a calm eternal spring;

Then gladly hail with a pure delight,

Oh, hail our beautiful wreath so bright;

Laurels, “Fresh Laurels,” for the Sunday School, for the Sunday School,

Laurels, “Fresh Laurels,” for the Sunday School we bring.

All may win the precious garland,

All the flaming crown may wear;

The smile of hope and the dew of prayer,

Has made this beautiful wreath so fair.

Laurels, “Fresh Laurels,” for the Sunday School, for the Sunday School,

Laurels, “Fresh Laurels,” for the Sunday School to wear.
